Follow The Light Lyrics
Nobody really knows
Where they're supposed to go
Hiding behind a wall
Afraid that they'll lose it all
But it's alright
Just follow the light
And don't be afraid of the dark
In the moonlight
You'll dance till you fall
And always be here in my heart
But nobody wants to know
'Cos nobody even cares
Everyone's on the make
Yeah and everyone's out for themselves
Me I'm on the longest road
Where everything's overload
But I've got my heart and soul
So don't throw me overboard
'Cos it's alright
Just follow the light
And don't be afraid of the dark
In the moonlight
You'll dance till you fall
And always be here in my heart
'Cos it's alright
Just follow the light
And don't be afraid of the dark
In the moonlight
You'll dance till you fall
And always be here in my heart
'Cos it's alright, alright now
And you're alright
Yeah we're alright now
Where they're supposed to go
Hiding behind a wall
Afraid that they'll lose it all
But it's alright
Just follow the light
And don't be afraid of the dark
In the moonlight
You'll dance till you fall
And always be here in my heart
But nobody wants to know
'Cos nobody even cares
Everyone's on the make
Yeah and everyone's out for themselves
Me I'm on the longest road
Where everything's overload
But I've got my heart and soul
So don't throw me overboard
'Cos it's alright
Just follow the light
And don't be afraid of the dark
In the moonlight
You'll dance till you fall
And always be here in my heart
'Cos it's alright
Just follow the light
And don't be afraid of the dark
In the moonlight
You'll dance till you fall
And always be here in my heart
'Cos it's alright, alright now
And you're alright
Yeah we're alright now

i LOVE this song. The music is soo good and i just feel like getting up and dancing when i hear. I really wish more people would listen to Travis.
I agree with you. This song is so...refreshing!!! I don't know how to qualify that but i can say this song is one of my fav on The Invisible Band. When I hear it, I makes me feel happy... Go listen to it and dance!!!
Jesus is the Way and the Truth and the Light.
need I say more.
I don't think this song necessarily has anything to do with Jesus...but if you take it that way that's fine. I think they left it quite open to what your 'light' could be.
I agree, I think the "light" just refers to the "right" solution. It might be Jesus, but I don't think it specifically means that...
I think the light is happiness and generally being at peace with yourself. "Just follow the light And don't be afraid of the dark" The dark is whenever things go wrong or you start to doubt and lose faith, but if you follow the light, you'll always eventually find your way back somehow.
LDG you summed it up pretty well. I cant believe only 7 of us have commented on this song! Its definately my favourite Travis song, it has really uplifting lyrics, but at the same time i find it quite melancholy. Its totally beautiful though, the chorus makes me cry. Everyone wants someone in their life to sing this to them.
\'Cos it\'s alright Just follow the light And don\'t be afraid of the dark In the moonlight You\'ll dance till you fall And always be here in my heart
To me it says, whatever happens, I\'ll always be thinking of you and you\'ll always be in my heart, everything will be ok, just trust your intuition and do what feels right.
p.s Go away belteshazzar
Personally I like to think of this as a Christian song. Anyways I put this on a mix CD for my girlfriend...of course she loved it.
It's about overcoming our uncertainties and our anxiety about the future and just being happy. To me, the light is happiness and having no fear. Don't worry and do what makes you happy. Carpe diem!
