The Radical Light

written by Vonda Shepard and Matthew Wilder



He was a poor boy having a hard time

A shoulder chipped and a head for crime

He was destined to be broken

She found a diamond in a coal mine

What she saw in him was a crooked line

She just wanted him to straighten

She said truth lies underneath the radical light

Show you qhat you need, what you're looking for

One night underneath the radical light

She said once you see the truth you'll be wanting more



She doesn't know why she's got the desire

To lead this boy out of the burning fire

Call it love or call it mercy

See, one night she was dreamin'

She saw a man who looked just like him,

He said "When you find me baby set me free"



We can shine standin' in the radical light

Take a chance and find your vision

We can feel fine walkin' in the radical light

It all comes down to radical decisions



I feel your sorrow

I know you're afraid to let it go

There's always tomorrow

Come into the light you don't have to be alone anymore



Show me real truth real love

Wake me hold me tonight

Under the radical light

Show me the real truth real life

Underneath the radical light



Someday we will be one

Under the radical light
