See The Light Shining Lyrics
When you're dyin', when you're dyin'
There ain't no use in cryin'
I'm gonna keep on livin' till the light
Shines down on you
Burnin' right in
Ya can't stop when you're winning
I'm gonna show my hand make history
Show me the way
Show me the way
Show me the way
Show me the way
Show me the way
Show me the way
I'm dyin', I'm dyin'
There ain't no use in tryin'
I'm gonna keep on livin' till the light's
Shining down on you
Burnin' right in
Ya can't stop when you're winning
I'm gonna show my head make history
Show me the way
Show me the way
Show me the way
Show me the way
Show me the way
Show me the way
Show me the way
Show me the way
Show me the way
Show me the way
I can see the light shining
It's shining down on me, yeah
I can see the light shining
It shines on you and me, yeah, you and me
There's a new day dawning
It's here to set me free, yeah
I can see the changes coming
It's coming over me, over me
I can see the light shining
I can see the light shining
I can see the light shining
I can see the light shining
Shine on, shine on
The ultimate ambigious lyric or a work genius? I dont know so im not gonna pretend to tell you what to think either. Still, id love to corner Mr Byford one day and ask him what he had in mind when he wrote this..
Update: (Not that it seems like many others are gonna read this but what the hell, im gonna post, someone, someday might think "wtf?" like i did..)

This song ive found out after copious research is about a Biff and Fast Eddie Clarks many late night poker games they had together on Motorheads Ace of spades tour, waaay back in the long, long ago. Apparently, on the original pressings of "wheels of steel" Eddie gets a mention on the back cover as inspiration for the track.

As indicated, the song conveys a message of perseverance, optimism, and a sense of hope in the face of challenges and adversity. While acknowledging the difficult moments in life, with references to dying and trying, it emphasizes the importance of staying resilient and continuing to live until the light shines down on them. The shining light symbolizes enlightenment, clarity, and a sense of illumination in the darkness.
