"Chasing Light" lyrics

Fire on the stove and the television's streaming
Scrolling through my phone liking someone else's life
Lost my heart in the pandemic, slipped into the darker side
I need light

Past stuck in the breeze and the apathy is rising
Catch me in the trees looking for that simple life
I won't get lost in the fast culture, leaving everyone behind
I need light

Alright okay, it's enough, the dream is still what it was
I guess I lost track of where to fit in all this fuss
But I'm here, I'm alive and I'm in my children's eyes
So much darkness, gotta keep chasing light
Gotta keep chasing light

High up on the rail and the roller coaster's creaking
Brakes are gonna fail get me off this circus ride
There's too much hope here to surrender, I've got some fire left inside
I need light

Alright okay, it's enough, the dream is still what it was
I guess I lost track of how to rise from all this dust
But I'm here, I'm alive and I'm in my children's eyes
So much darkness, I gotta keep chasing light
I gotta keep chasing light, yeah

Oh, and can you help me, I can't bear it all alone
I can't whistle down the sidewalks, while you're crying in your homes
Just a little conversation, a little love, a little time
A distant hallelujah to know you're there and I'll be fine

Alright okay, it's enough, I'll stop giving up
I lost track of where we were and who I was
But I'm here, I'm alive and I'm in my children's eyes
So much darkness, I gotta keep chasing light
Yeah, I gotta keep chasing light ohh
Chasing light, light
Chasing light, light
