Alexis Houston Light
Lived life under nighttime skies
Shroud of darkness had me blind
Stumbled in circles, too inured to cry
My fear of failure trumping try
Too afraid to look beyond
To see what life could truly be
Never thinking there would ever be
Brighter days ahead of me
Now I live out in the sun
Claiming my destiny's begun
Going for broke, win or lose
The path I take, is mine to choose
I'm a woman... fully grown
Stepping up to claim my thrown
Straight trippin' not ever to feel
The power that lives inside of me
Oooo Can you see it?
Oooo oooo Can you feel it?
Oooo oooo Will you embrace it?
Oooo oooo the light!
INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE
(African chanting) bgv ad libs
Now I live out in the sun
Claiming my destiny's begun
Going for broke, win or lose
The path I take, is mine to choose
Too afraid to look beyond
To see what life could truly be
Straight trippin' not ever to feel
The power that lives inside of me
Oooo Can you see it?
Oooo oooo Can you feel it?
Oooo oooo Will you embrace it?
Oooo oooo the light!
Oooo Yes I can see it!
Oooo oooo Oh and I can feel it!
Oooo oooo Yes I'm living
Surrounded by the light!
(African chanting) with bgv ad libs
Oooo Can you see it
Oooo oooo Can you feel it
Oooo oooo Will you embrace it
Oooo oooo the light!
Oooo Yes I can see it!
Oooo oooo Oh I can feel it!
Oooo oooo Yes I'm living
Surrounded by the light!
