Race You To The Light Songtext
von Mason Jennings

Maybe we′ll be together when the sun disappears
In a house we've been building for a hundred million years
And you can be my little sister
You can be my mother, too

Oh, I′ll race you to the light
I'll race you to the light
I'll race you to the light
I′ll race you to the light

Yeah, I′ll meet you at the corner 'cause my folks are in a fight
Yeah, I′ll meet you at the corner and we'll tear across the hill
Though I′m not feeling quite right but I wanna see you still
Yeah, I always wanna see ya 'cause you look inside my pain
And you cup it with your hands and you call it by its name
Then you bury it between us in the dirt beneath our feet
And we grow from it together like a weeping willow tree

Maybe we′ll watch together as the stars write our names
From a raft we've been building out of hailstones and flames
And I can be your little brother
I can be your father too


Whoa, I'll race you to the light
I′ll race you to the light
I′ll race you to the light
I'll race you to the light

Yeah, I′ll meet you at the hideout where the sticks are lean and tall
Where the light is growing darker, where we don't feel scared at all
′Cause my arms are wrapped around you, with your face against my neck
We know magic doesn't happen without patience and respect

And the halls have all blown open and the truth is running free
There ain′t nothing in this world more alive than you and me
There ain't nothing in this world more alive than you and me
There ain't no one in this world more in love than you and me
More in love than you and me
More in love than you and me

I′ll race you to the light
I′ll race you to the light
I'll race you to the light
I′ll race you to the light
I will race you to the light
I will race you to the light
I will race you to the light
I will race you to the light


I'll race you to the light
I′ll race you to the light
I'll race you to the light
I′ll race you to the light
I'll race you to the light
I'll race you to the light
I′ll race you to the light
I′ll race you to the light
