I Wanna Be Your Light Lyrics

Nothing's promised in this life
so I'm thankful,
that we're here tonight

Take my hand and let's look up
at the stars
we can make them ours

I want to be your light
let me be your light
I'll light your way
across the milky way

I want to be your star
let me be your star
I'll light your way
across the milky way

I don't want to see you cry
all that pain
you hold inside

Life is waiting,
don't forget - you are free
I'll help you see

I want to be your light
Let me be your light
I'll light your way
across the milky way

I want to be your star
let me be your star
I'll light your way
across the milky way

Ohhuhhuh - there you go

There's no time in life to judge
only time
enough for love

so as another night slips by
let us dance
beneath the sky

(repeat chorus)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
