Between Liberties’ version of Saw You In the Light. This work-in-progress is one of my favorites among the originals I have written. Perhaps you’ll understand why with the lyrics.
I can’t wait to share the newest version with you! This will likely be the song I ask Between Liberties to back me on for my solo album (help me fund that adventure here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/emay/emay-music), else it will surely be on BL’s next record.
In the meantime, here is the most updated version of the lyrics:
Here I am outside a home, this place that I swear I remember
It doesn’t seem so long ago when we were here before, maybe in November
All my thoughts wind up here eventually, and this place is moving constantly
A parable I’d see, oh if I could enter…
I have loved and I have lied, I’ve lived and I have died
But we’ve not yet survived as one
We’ll hurdle off the shelf, see what we have earned
Soon as we learn to love ourselves
And I’ll learn to bite my tongue, find good in everyone
Finish what I’ve begun, for all my life, I’ve loved emphatically
Been hurt and I’ve been beat, but always more complete the more I’ve lost
I’ve loved and I have lost, but I’ll see you all again…
I saw you in the light, saw your fire bright, saw you through the darkest night
I saw you in the light, saw your fire bright, saw you through the darkest nights…
