What Light
If you feel like singing a song
And you want other people to sing along
Then just sing what you feel
Don't let anyone say it's wrong
And if you're trying to paint a picture
But you're not sure which colors belong
Just paint what you see
Don't let anyone say it's wrong
And if you're strung out like a kite
Or stung awake in the night
It's alright to be frightened
When there's a light, what light
When there's a light, what light
There's a light, white light
Inside of you
You think you might need somebody
To pick you up when you drag
Don't lose sight of yourself
Don't let anyone change your bag
And if the whole world's singing your songs
And all of your paintings have been hung
Just remember what was yours
Is everyone's from now on
And that's not wrong or right
But you can struggle with it all you like
You'll only get uptight
When there's a light, what light
When there's a light, what light
When there's a light, white light
There's a light, white light
When there's a light, one light
When there's a light, white light
When there's a light, one light
When there's a light, white light
When there's a light, one light
When there's a light, one light
When there's a light, white light
When there's a light, white light
Inside of you
When there's a light, white light
When there's a light, white light
There's a light, white light
When there's a light, one light
And you want other people to sing along
Then just sing what you feel
Don't let anyone say it's wrong
And if you're trying to paint a picture
But you're not sure which colors belong
Just paint what you see
Don't let anyone say it's wrong
And if you're strung out like a kite
Or stung awake in the night
It's alright to be frightened
When there's a light, what light
When there's a light, what light
There's a light, white light
Inside of you
You think you might need somebody
To pick you up when you drag
Don't lose sight of yourself
Don't let anyone change your bag
And if the whole world's singing your songs
And all of your paintings have been hung
Just remember what was yours
Is everyone's from now on
And that's not wrong or right
But you can struggle with it all you like
You'll only get uptight
When there's a light, what light
When there's a light, what light
When there's a light, white light
There's a light, white light
When there's a light, one light
When there's a light, white light
When there's a light, one light
When there's a light, white light
When there's a light, one light
When there's a light, one light
When there's a light, white light
When there's a light, white light
Inside of you
When there's a light, white light
When there's a light, white light
There's a light, white light
When there's a light, one light
