"Where The Light Shines Through" lyrics - SWITCHFOOT

When you're feeling like an astronaut
Stuck on a planet even time forgot and
You're a version of yourself but you're not the same
You try to keep the wound camouflaged and
The stitch is here but the years are lost and
Another bottle on the shelf can't numb the pain

Why're you running from yourself now?
You can't run away

'Cause your scars shine like dark stars
Yeah, your wounds are where the light shines through
So let's go there
To that place where
We sing these broken prayers
Where the light shines through
The wound is where the light shines through
The wound is where the light shines through

Ain't we all just Abraham's son
Saint and sinner with the song and drum and
We're falling on our knees; we all bleed the same
And the only tattoos that I have are scars
I got your name written on my heart
And the story that brought us here ain't the thing that changed

I wanna see that light shining'
Brighter than the pain

'Cause your scars shine like dark stars
Yeah, your wounds are where the light shines through
So let's go there
To that place where
We sing these broken prayers
Where the light shines through
The wound is where the light shines through

Mama, ain't the blood just proof I'm human
Mama, ain't the wound just retribution
Mama, ain't the scar light a vision of grace

The wound is where the light shines through
The wound is where the light finds you
The wound is where the light shines through
The wound is where the light finds you

'Cause your scars shine like dark stars
Yeah, your wounds are where the light shines through
It's where the light shines through
It's where the light shines through

The only tattoo I have

Is where the light shines through
Where the light shines
Where the light shines through

Where the light shines through

It's where the light shines through
