I Have Seen a Light Lyrics

I have seen a light?I have seen a light?Young lions at night play too close to the wire?That's OK, it's just fire
?I have seen a light?I have seen a light?Young lions at night stray too close to the wire?That's OK, it's just fire

All the clay doves say they're hard done by me?But Crystal we need real things tonight?All the clay doves say they're hard done by me?But Crystal we need real things

Yes, you've seen a light in that look?After taking every drug she took?I got found out?Someone bought the book, now it's no good

I have seen a light?I have seen a light?Young lions at night play too close to the wire?That's OK, it's just fire

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.
