There's a Light
Embracing Love's Radiance: Rory Gallagher's 'There's a Light'
Lyrics
There's a light that shines on me
Expressing the presence of a positive influence or inspiration in the speaker's life.
Ever since you came to me
Attributing the enduring light to the arrival of a significant person.
It won't go,it won't go away
Emphasizing the persistent and unyielding nature of the positive impact.
Now I know that you're gonna stay
Realization that the person is committed to staying in the speaker's life.
Now that I know
Acknowledging the certainty of the newfound understanding.
Your love means so much more to me now
Highlighting the increased significance and value of love in the speaker's life.
Come here now baby
Inviting the significant person to the speaker.
Now look what you've done to me now
Reflecting on the transformative impact the person has had on the speaker.
I don't pray for what could have been
Expressing contentment and acceptance of the present rather than dwelling on what might have been.
I feel I'm flyin' naturally
Feeling a sense of natural joy or elation.
I can fly but I won't go away
Asserting personal freedom and choice not to leave despite having the ability to fly away.
In your sky that's where I wanna stay
Expressing a desire to remain in the metaphorical sky, signifying a positive state of being.
Come here now baby
Reiterating the invitation for the significant person to be close.
Now look what you've done to me now
Re-emphasizing the transformative impact of the person on the speaker.
If I don't show would you know
Raising a question about the recognition of the speaker's absence.
Where to look for me now
Asking whether the significant person would know where to find the speaker.
I do not stare absently
Denying a state of aimlessness and emphasizing focus and awareness.
Counting waves up on the sea
Engaging in contemplation, possibly referring to the stability brought by the significant person.
Now I know where I wanna stay
Deciding on a preferred place of belonging and stability.
There ain't no hard decisions to make
Emphasizing the ease of decision-making in the presence of the significant person.
Come here now baby
Reiterating the invitation for closeness and connection.
Now look what you've done to me now
Re-emphasizing the transformative impact of the person on the speaker.
If I don't show would you know
Raising a question about the recognition of the speaker's absence.
Who to send for me now
Pondering whether someone would know whom to contact in the speaker's absence.
There's a light (Repeat x3)
Repetition for emphasis on the enduring and positive presence of light in the speaker's life.
