A Trick of the Light Lyrics
My heart is spilling over
Crashing on the ground
I can't see what's around me
But soon I'll come round
My faith is in the balance
Of a million tiny words
So I return to silence
And if I see a sign in the sky tonight
No one's gonna tell me it's a trick of the light
May never come but I'm willing to wait
What can I say? I'm a man of the faith
And there's an ocean in my body
And there's a river in my soul
And I'm crying
It's time that I let go
Of things I can't control
This path that I've taken
Is the only one I know
Well I've come so far to get here
And I've got so far to go
So I'll take what I can get
In matters of the soul
And if I see a sign in the sky tonight
No one's gonna tell me it's a trick of the light
May never come but I'm willing to wait
What can I say? I'm a man of the faith
And there's an ocean in my body
And there's a river in my soul
And I'm crying
And we are the dawn
And we carry the sun
And we are the dawn
And we carry the sun
And if I see a sign in the sky tonight
No one's gonna tell me it's a trick of the light
May never come but I'm willing to wait
What can I say? I'm a man of the faith
And there's an ocean in my body
And there's a river in my soul
And I'm crying
And if I see a sign in the sky tonight (See it coming)
No one's gonna tell me it's a trick of the light (Feel it coming)
May never come but I'm willing to wait
What can I say? I'm a man of the faith
And there's an ocean in my body
And there's a river in my soul
And I'm crying
Crashing on the ground
I can't see what's around me
But soon I'll come round
Of a million tiny words
So I return to silence
No one's gonna tell me it's a trick of the light
May never come but I'm willing to wait
What can I say? I'm a man of the faith
And there's an ocean in my body
And there's a river in my soul
And I'm crying
Of things I can't control
This path that I've taken
Is the only one I know
And I've got so far to go
So I'll take what I can get
In matters of the soul
No one's gonna tell me it's a trick of the light
May never come but I'm willing to wait
What can I say? I'm a man of the faith
And there's an ocean in my body
And there's a river in my soul
And I'm crying
And we carry the sun
And we are the dawn
And we carry the sun
No one's gonna tell me it's a trick of the light
May never come but I'm willing to wait
What can I say? I'm a man of the faith
And there's an ocean in my body
And there's a river in my soul
And I'm crying
No one's gonna tell me it's a trick of the light (Feel it coming)
May never come but I'm willing to wait
What can I say? I'm a man of the faith
And there's an ocean in my body
And there's a river in my soul
And I'm crying
I think this is about experiencing hardship or loss and searching for a spiritual sign from above that his soul will find the strength to overcome it. His heart sinks to the bottom of his soul as he diverts from the only path he's ever known and enters the unknown. Outwardly, he is silent, but his tears flow endlessly into his soul and body. He is lost - so if he sees a guiding sign in the night sky, no one is going to tell him it isn't real.
