Blinding Light Lyrics
Hey boy, don't believe them
Their old lies never could come true
Hey boy, don't believe them
Everything that they told you to
Hey boy, don't believe them
We're the nation that eats our youth
Hey boy, don't believe them
None of us are bulletproof
Yeah
Deep down there's a boy inside
Asleep, waiting for the sun to rise
Wake up, wake up
Still looking for the blinding light
Still looking for the reason why
Still looking for the sun to shine
Take me higher and higher
All my life I've been living in the darkest night
Still looking for the blinding light
To take me higher and higher
Hey girl, be yourself now
Don't believe what they told you to
Hey girl, be yourself now
Your skin's more than a pin-up suit
Hey girl, don't conform now
No one else's got soul like you
Hey girl, you're a strong one
But none of us are bulletproof
Yeah
Deep down there's a hope inside
You got wings but you're scared to fly
Wake up, wake up
Still looking for the blinding light
Still looking for the reason why
Still looking for the sun to shine
Take me higher and higher
All my life I've been living in the darkest night
Still looking for the sun to shine
Take me higher and higher
Deep down there's a hope inside
Brighter than the fears in my mind
I keep looking for the blinding light
It's a hope that keeps me alive
Wake up, wake up
Keep looking for the blinding light
Keep looking for the reason why
Keep looking for the sun to shine
Take me higher and higher
All my life I've been living in the darkest night
Still looking for the sun to rise
To take me higher and higher
Blinding light, the blinding light
Yeah I've been waiting all my life
To take me higher and higher
Blinding light, you're the vision that gives me sight
All the blinding light, take me higher and higher
Their old lies never could come true
Hey boy, don't believe them
Everything that they told you to
Hey boy, don't believe them
We're the nation that eats our youth
Hey boy, don't believe them
None of us are bulletproof
Yeah
Asleep, waiting for the sun to rise
Wake up, wake up
Still looking for the reason why
Still looking for the sun to shine
Take me higher and higher
All my life I've been living in the darkest night
Still looking for the blinding light
To take me higher and higher
Don't believe what they told you to
Hey girl, be yourself now
Your skin's more than a pin-up suit
Hey girl, don't conform now
No one else's got soul like you
Hey girl, you're a strong one
But none of us are bulletproof
Yeah
You got wings but you're scared to fly
Wake up, wake up
Still looking for the reason why
Still looking for the sun to shine
Take me higher and higher
All my life I've been living in the darkest night
Still looking for the sun to shine
Take me higher and higher
Brighter than the fears in my mind
I keep looking for the blinding light
It's a hope that keeps me alive
Wake up, wake up
Keep looking for the reason why
Keep looking for the sun to shine
Take me higher and higher
All my life I've been living in the darkest night
Still looking for the sun to rise
To take me higher and higher
Yeah I've been waiting all my life
To take me higher and higher
Blinding light, you're the vision that gives me sight
All the blinding light, take me higher and higher

I'm never disappointed with the music of Switchfoot, and rarely with the lyrics either. This song is great on both points, in my opinion, but I wish that Foreman would have indicated more what the "blinding light" actually is. Personally, I believe I've found that light in Jesus Christ, and my search has stopped there. I'm convinced that He is the "reason why", and "the sun that shines" in my life.
He, to me, is the blinding light.
That's it - so many of Foreman's lyrics are sublime, which is why I enjoy and appreciate them. People will miss God because they're looking for the "Blinding Light", something that will be so obvious that it is impossible not to believe, or they may not believe otherwise - (Yeah, I've been waiting all my life). I think this is calling out people who may miss God looking for a "Blinding Light", and that isn't how God works. But the lyrics are very loving and respectful to men and women both in their tone. Plus the music is very catchy and fun - I...
