Let The Light In

from Ebb and Flow by Dan Sumner

/

lyrics

Closed off like a shell
Seasons greet you then fade as well
Surrounded by big ideas
That lay heavy in the atmosphere

With the shutters down, you slip away
Live to dream another day
The ebb and flow of your heart’s desire
Leaves you bruised, cold and tired

Sometimes you’ve got to let the light in
Sometimes you’ve got to let love in

Never a constant thread,
We wax and wane, can’t get ahead
Because self alone can’t sustain
All the atoms in your brain

Too scared to reach out
Gripped by fear and self doubt
A mind that roams, a heart that feels too much
Too brittle to a cold touch

Sometimes you’ve got to let the light in
Sometimes you’ve got to let love in

All those times I want to scream and shout
Look out here there’s a love about you
All those days knocking at your door
Bolted shut, gonna knock some more
All those rays that can’t get in
Look out here there’s a world around you
All those times I wish you’d said, come in
Come in come in come in come in

You’ve gotta let the light in
You’ve gotta let love in
