Shining through the trees I see
Nothing but lights there
There's so many I can't tell
They're all just one light shining everywhere
I will wait long as I can
Until I find you
Yours is so bright I can't tell
My light is bright
It is unguarded too
Tried to find the center of
Your light is so bright
I forget and I can't tell
You are so bright
Your light is so bright tonight
I can't tell which light is yours
They are all so bright
All together I can't tell
Meet me tonight
Meet me in the light tonight
Many lights are out tonight
I'm waiting for yours
Many pillars I can't tell
I have a choice
Now that I am out of doors
