Light On Lyrics

Cover art for Light On lyrics by David Cook

It's most likely a song that refers to a soldier who has to return to Iraq and leave his wife behind.

I believe David Cook kept the message somewhat hidden because of the backlash the Dixie Chicks faced whjen they expressed their opposition to the war.

Sadly, radio with the big giants has become somewhat political so singers haveto be careful in being covert in their messages if anything can be construed to be against the Bush Administration.

There is nothing wrong with the song but Bush is closely aligned with big business media groups like Clear Channel and other radio networks. It's sad because he could just call his buddies at these companies and that would be the end of any singer on these stations.

We are living in perilous times where Democracy as we knew it, has changed for the worse.
