You See My Light Lyrics

You see what shines in me
You see what shines
You see the light in me
You see the light

It runs right through me
Right through my hands
So I can see me
Oh I understand

But you see my light
And you see my light

What I see is darkness
What you see is my core
When you see my darkness go
You see me whole

What I thought was empty
You all to war
You see so much in me
When I see nothing left at all

And I feel lift in me with an open hand
And I ought to trust my soul with your open hand
And in this moment I understand
In this moment I truly learn of the hand
How much I love you

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.

Here's the lyrics transcribed from the lyrics book. Original poster was pretty close.

You see what shines in me you see what shines you see the light in me you see the light that runs right through me right through my hands till I can't see me or understand but you see my light you see my light what I see as darkness you see as my gold when you've seen my darkest gold you've seen it all What I thought was empty you long to hold you see so much in me when I see nothing left at all and I feel you lifting me with an open hand And I long to trust my soul in your open hand and in this moment I understand that I love you and in this moment I truly understand how much I love you
