Something Happened To The Light
A Divine Glow: Unveiling the Enchanting Tale of Midnight Light
Lyrics
Over the hills long time ago,
Describing a historical event that occurred in the past over the hills.
Shepherds and their sheep lay low.
Depicting shepherds and their sheep in a resting or calm state.
Midnight came, a light did shine,
Highlighting the arrival of midnight accompanied by a shining light.
Bright as the light from a neon sign.
Comparing the brightness of the light to that of a neon sign.
Something happened to the light,
Expressing an unexpected change in the light's characteristics.
Should be dark but it turned out bright!
Contrasting the anticipated darkness with the unexpectedly bright light.
Never seen a stranger sight,
Describing the unusual and extraordinary nature of the sight.
Looks like day… but it should be night.
Observing that it looks like daytime despite the expected nighttime.
Angels came and said to them,
Introducing angels instructing the shepherds to go to Bethlehem.
“You gotta go to Bethlehem!”
Conveying the divine message urging the shepherds to undertake a journey.
They flew up into the sky.
Portraying the shepherds' miraculous flight into the sky.
Shepherds could not believe their eyes!
Illustrating the shepherds' disbelief at the extraordinary sight before them.
Something happened to the light,
Reiterating the unexpected transformation in the quality of light.
Should be dark but it turned out bright!
Reemphasizing the contrast between anticipated darkness and actual brightness.
Never seen a stranger sight,
Reaffirming the strange and unparalleled nature of the experience.
Looks like day… but it should be night.
Repeating the observation that it appears to be day when it should be night.
Shepherds travelled high and low,
Depicting the shepherds' journey with uncertainty about the light's destination.
Wond’ring where the light would go.
Expressing the shepherds' curiosity regarding the path of the mysterious light.
Travelled up and travelled down,
Describing the shepherds' travels up and down in search of the source of light.
‘Til they came to a little town.
Indicating the eventual arrival of the shepherds at a small town.
Something happened to the light,
Restating the unexpected change in the character of the light.
Should be dark but it turned out bright!
Affirming the continued contrast between expected darkness and actual brightness.
Never seen a stranger sight,
Reiterating the extraordinary and unfamiliar nature of the sight.
Looks like day… but it should be night.
Repeating the observation that it seems like daytime despite the expected nighttime.
Still their journey led them on,
Describing the shepherds' ongoing journey marked by the persistent shining of light.
All the time that light it shone.
Highlighting the constant presence of the bright light throughout the shepherds' journey.
Over an inn it seemed to hang,
Noting the apparent positioning of the light over an inn.
At the door all the shepherds sang:
Depicting the shepherds singing at the inn's door in response to the extraordinary sight.
Something happened to the light,
Reemphasizing the unexpected change in the light's characteristics.
Should be dark but it turned out bright!
Affirming the persistent contrast between anticipated darkness and actual brightness.
Never seen a stranger sight,
Reaffirming the strange and unparalleled nature of the experience.
Looks like day… but it should be night.
Repeating the observation that it appears to be day when it should be night.
…Something happened to the light,
Continuing to emphasize the unexpected change in the light.
Should be dark but it turned out bright!
Affirming the ongoing contrast between expected darkness and actual brightness.
Never seen a stranger sight,
Reiterating the strange and unparalleled nature of the experience.
Looks like day but it should be night!
Repeating the observation that it looks like daytime when it should be night.
Don’t know how it shines so bright.
Expressing uncertainty about the intense brightness of the light.
Tell the truth it gave me a fright.
Acknowledging a sense of fear or surprise caused by the unexpectedly bright light.
’Cos it looks like day…but it should be night!
Reiterating the observation that it looks like daytime despite the expected nighttime.
