little light, are you listening?
little light, i have so much to show you
i’m a house with the light on
on the path when you’e walking in darkness
your clothes might be dirty and covered with blood
but i’ll still have a hot meal here waiting
and you have a spirit that holds like a hand
and your heart is a safe place for others to land
just remember this one thing and you’ll make me proud:
second chances are always allowed
little light people see you
as a person that they can look up to
they will come with their questions
even when you don’t have any answers
i ask you to look past their dirt and their blood —
a hot bath and forgiveness are weighty
and you have two hands made to raise others up
and you have two clear eyes to see others with love
when they call you for guidance, make sure that you know:
second chances will help them to grow
but a fire unfed can grow dim
betrayal can steal all the kindling within
the choices of family and friends disappoint
and it’s always your job to be bigger than them
you are tired, you’re feeling unsure
you don’t know if you’re all that good anymore
you want to hold onto your anger a while
‘cause your build to hold everyone else’s
but this one is yours
little light, are you listening?
little light, just look up, i’m beside you
you don’t need to be perfect
even when you’re surrounded by dark
you see paths that need lighting, including your own,
and i’m there with my arms open, waiting
and you have a purpose — it’s hard and it’s grand
but i’ll always be holding your heart and your hand
when you rebuild my temple, it’s true even now:
second chances are always allowed
I discovered this band mere weeks ago through pure chance; someone recommended Fair in a discussion about wholesome songs. And it was; love at first listen. YouTube recommended me Battle Cries next, so I gave that a listen too, and the the energy and the overlapping lyrics made me fall in love anew.
I bought this album and Ruin less than a day later. Everything TAD have made is true art, different from everything else I've heard. Mayana
TTBT has some of my favorite songs written by The Mechs. Iphis is my personal favorite due to its ties with Greek Mythology, but it's definitely an album I have on repeat constantly. yumeinati
