Swing Low Lyrics

Swing low, sweet light
'Cause I'm standing on the edge tonight
Losing my connection and I've lost my sight
Swing low
Swing low, sweet light
'Cause I'm closing on corrupt tonight
my fuse is almost burnt through, and I'm dynamite
Swing low
Will you save me, I'm hanging by my neck
My body is a corpse, my heart is almost dead
My soul's an open grave, I got venom in my head
Oh, swing low, sweet light, tonight
Slow down, sweet song
The gravity that pulls me's gone
I'm a stranger in this city, and my time is done
Slow down
Slow down, sweet light
Vision's turned to dust and I can't stand the fight
My pollution's taking over and it swears it's right
Slow down
Will you save me, I'm hanging by my neck
My body is a corpse, my heart is almost dead
My soul's an open grave, I got venom in my head
Oh, swing low, sweet light, tonight

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.
