Step out into the Light

Matisyahu

The begin, ay, ay
Watch the weight of the wind blow
Watchin′ faces out my window
To the people on they grind
To the country out its mind
Half grins, half spun like a dreidel
No middle to my know how
Slow down for the show now
I'd rather be alone than explain how
Wake up and walk out
Take up and take out
Shake up and shake out

My demons waitin′ on every corner
Just to pull me down, they follow me around
They're in my blood as the leaves hit
The ground and the wind from the willow

My only shield is the sound
My feelings release in these sounds
Get free in these sounds
Let it bleed in these sounds
In these verbs in these nouns
In these words, build a boat
Take me though stormy seas
Till my feet hit the ground

Hit the ground running
Hit the town humming
Ancient melodies come back to me now
Come back to me now
Ancient melodies come back to me now
Come back

Stop and ask the question
Like Nachman I lose the vision
Enter to the fog
Driving down this mountain to the ocean floor
Where you've never gone before
Open up the door to a room you′ve chosen to ignore
Swimming in a ocean of fear
You′ve been swimming in an ocean of fear
Through the unknown and the unclear
Through the unknown and the unclear

Fear of your life, fear of your knife
Cut open this tightly stitched world
That you made examine inside
Take up and take out
Shake up and shake out
Shake it off gotta shake up the vibe

You've been traveling the speed of light
You′ve been searching
You've been movin′ all of your life
You've been reaching
You′ve been running out of sight
You've been seeking
Disappearing into the light
Into the light you been taken to

Now you're digging up the gravestone
Breaking up the glass house that you craved
Breaking up the paved road that you made
Entering the maze, fear of the strange
Fear of the waves as they crash down
Once sung of a longing once felt
Like a trophy that you won and kept it on the mantle
Time to dismantle, get a handle, takin′ off your sandals
Lighting up the candles, now you livin′ in shambles

Ramble on with the bros, ramble on the pros
Cons can't hack it, with my jacket
′Causing a racket, take a crack and crackle
Tackling competition with my mission
Livin' with the vision or touch the moonlight

Wake up and walk out
Take up and take out
Shake up and shake out
Shake it off gotta shake up the vibe

You′ve been traveling at the speed of light
You've been searching
You′ve been movin' all of your life
You've been reaching
You′ve been runnin′ out of sight
You've been seeking
Disappearing into the light
Into the light you′ve been taken through

You've been traveling at the speed of light
You′ve been searching
You've been movin′ all of your life
You've been reaching
You've been runnin′ out of sight
You′ve been seeking
Disappearing into the light
Into the light you've been taken through

Traveling at the speed of light
You′ve been searching
You've been movin′ all of your life
All of your life, all of your life

You've been traveling at the speed of light
You′ve been searching
You've been movin' all of your life
All of your life, all of your life
All of your life
Reaching
You′ve been runnin′
You've been seeking
Disappearing
Out of sight, out of your life
Out of your life, out of your life

You′ve been searching
You've been movin′ all of your life
You've been reaching
You′ve been runnin' all of your life
You've been seeking
Disappearing into the night

You′ve been reaching
You′ve been runnin' into the night
You′ve been searching
You've been movin′ all of your life
You've been reaching
You′ve been runnin' all of your life

You've been searching
You′ve been movin′
You've been reaching
You′ve been runnin'
You′ve been seeking
Disappearing
Trying to step out into the light
Into the light, into the light
Into the light, into the light
Into the light

Trying to make of what you had
Step out into the light
You've been taking time
