lyrics

[Verse 1]
Welcome to this land,
Oh, come on, and take my hand.
I’ll show you crystal seas.
And a heavenly breeze.
See the magic.
The magic.

[Verse 2]
You came here to heal?
Oh, that’s a story I know well.
Look at all the others,
See, they run from their own hell.
Feel the magic.
So tragic.

[Chorus]
Are you ready?
Because you can’t hide
If you run, and run, and run
Towards the light.
There are many
Who lose their sight.
Because they ran and ran and ran
Too close to the light.

[Verse 3]
From the heartache to the trauma,
There is loss and there is pain.
If you only seek the pleasure,
There’s no healing you will gain.
There’s the magic.
Dark magic.

[Verse 4]
I can see you running far away
From your own mind.
Just because you are searching
Doesn’t mean that you will find
The magic.
So tragic.

[Chorus]
Are you ready?
Because you can’t hide
If you run, and run, and run
Towards the light.
There are many
Who lose their sight.
Because they ran and ran and ran
Too close to the light.

[Bridge]
They’re left blind.
And deafened by the sounds,
As they sink into the ground,
Yet hope they’re taking flight.

[Chorus]
Are you ready?
Because you can’t hide
If you run, and run, and run
Towards the light.
There are many
Who lose their sight.
Because they ran and ran and ran
Too close to the light.
