Keeping The Light On Lyrics


Joy Oladokun Keeping The Light On

[Verse 1]
I grew up out in the desert
Where I learned to thrive alone
Lived in L.A. 'til it broke me
Oh, I rolled on like a stone
Found a girl and found a job
Just like they say good people do
But every now and then I turn to salt inside her wounds

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh and all I know
Is we can't, we won't let go
[Chorus]
Keeping the light on, the light on, ain't easy
Keeping the fight on, for so long, is hard to do
For all the times you feel the weight
There might just be a better way
Won't deny that it feels so hard
Whеn the night gets so dark
Keep keeping the light on

[Verse 2]
And I'm trying to gеt better
Every day I chase the sun
And I pray it's worth the heartache when I'm done

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh and all I know
Is we can't, we won't, let go

[Chorus]
Keeping the light on, the light on, ain't easy
Keeping the fight on, for so long, is hard to do
For all the times you feel the weight
There might just be a better way
Won't deny that it feels so hard
When the night gets so dark
Keep keeping the light on
Keep keeping the light on
[Bridge]
Try to give a little
Try to be a little
Try to see a light in the dark
Try to give a little
Try to be a little
Try to see a light in the dark
Try to give a little
Try to be a little
Try to see a light in the dark
Try to give a little
Try to be a little
Try to see a light in the dark

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, we can't, we won't, let go

[Chorus]
Keeping the light on, the light on, ain't easy
Keeping the fight on, for so long, is hard to do
For all the times you feel the weight
There might just be a better way
Won't deny that it feels so hard
When the night gets so dark
Keep keeping the light on
[Outro]
Try to give a little
Try to be a little
Try to see a light in the dark
Oh-oh, oh
Try to give a little
Try to be a little
Try to see a light in the dark
