I've learned to give heed to my prayers,
that it may have been a fluke,
but my will can't be rebuked oh,
I got myself into this maze,
Still I know I'll find my way, even when I stumble I’ll go,
It's something that I can't explain,
when the truth is in your words,
you become a different girl oh,
Are lovers meant to be the same,
cause I crave your different spirit,
and your weakness in the heart,
I’m a leave this town, once again,
I'm a leave it like I've never been,
How a silly bird could kill a man,
I wanna tame this darkness I can't stand,
And you know it's right,
When you know it, Now you know it's right,
You've been kissed by the light,
And you know it's right,
When you know it, Now you know it's right,
You've been kissed by the light!
You recognised me as your own,
But I just reflect your past, and the fear clutched in your grasp oh,
You came and shook me from my throne,
Then you threw me in the dark, like I'm nothing to be had, so,
I rowed this river in the night,
and I remembered your words, when you said that you were burnt oh,
But you were judging out of fright,
and I questioned my own light,
like I should not ever,
I’m a leave this town, once again,
I'm a leave it like I've never been,
How a silly bird could kill a man,
I wanna tame this darkness I can't stand,
And you know it's right,
When you know it,
Now you know it's right,
You've been kissed by the light,
And you know it's right,
When you know it,
Now you know it's right,
You've been kissed by the light!
You’ve been kissed by the light!
(solo)
You’ve been kissed by the light!
(solo)
I’m a leave this town,
once again,
I'm a leave it like I've never been,
How a silly bird could kill a man,
Now you know it’s right,
Now you know,
You’ve been kissed by the light.
