Lyrics Mason Jennings – Race You To The Light

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

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
