Album Cover Step out into the Light

Step out into the Light

Matisyahu

4

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
