Lyrics

Stumbling through the darkness, Lord knows there be dark times
Times when you can’t find no friend
Wandering through the wilderness, you build your golden calves
In hopes that you’re nearing the end
Climb the tallest mountain, to get a better view
Sun rising over the valley below and it shines

Like the sun on the water, you thought you had caught her
But the clouds stole the light
Like the stars falling down from the sky on a moonless night
Like a mother and child as she’s saying goodbye
Bright land shines

Fighting all the forces, back against the wall
Weary from waging the war
You find yourself a respite, a place to lay your head
Lights out, dreaming away
Conquering your enemies, scattered ‘cross the land
Arms raised up high in a victory stance and you shine

Like the sun on the water, you thought you forgot her
But she’s still on your mind
Like the stars fading into the sky by the pale moonlight
Like a mother and child as she kiss you goodnight
Bright land shines

Help is here dear Car-o-line, you’re incarcerated from the inside
Cast off those rusty old chains, a key that contains your name
Can’t hold you anymore, break down that prison door, light of a brand new day
And it shines!

Like the sun on the water, you you finally caught her
She’s still by your side
Like the stars shining bright in the sky on a moonlit night
Like a mother and child when you open your eyes

Bright land shines
Bright land shines
Bright land shines
