about
'Be The Light' is the 4th single from Cole Adams.
An uplifting song, reminding you to shine your light onto others.
This song was originally written in September of 2019
in Reno, Nevada, by singer-songwriter, Cole Adams.
It's changed several times since 2019 but the chorus remains the same.
"Be The Light That You Wish To See."
This particular version was mainly manifested and constructed in
the home studio of Jim Lucas, by Cole and Jim, between 2022-2023.
Jim plays every instrument minus the organ on this song.
The song was finalized, mixed, and mastered by Paul Niehaus IV,
of Blue Lotus Recordings, in South City, Saint Louis, Missouri.
Niehaus also joins as an instrumentalist on the organ.
This track has an overall Americana vibe, along with an empowering message to live your life from the place that you shine within...
To live life from your heart space.
lyrics
Shine your light in this world, the kindness you give
Will lift others to shine through the life that they live
Find the peace within, set yourself free
Be The Light that you wanna see
So I, Oh, I, ohhh
Embody that light
Be the light that you wish to see
Radiate all your love light for free
Be the light that you wish to see
Just be the light that you wish to see, ooh, ooh
There’s a man on the street with a sign up
Asking for what you can give
Said he don’t wanna live this way anymore
Said, man that sure, is a hard way to go
Yeah, he said I’ve been hurting a long time, Oh oh
Be the light that he needs to see
Radiate all your love light for free
Be the light that you wish to see
Woah, woah
Gonna shine this light here for all it’s worth
All it’s worth
Gonna shine this light here
All over earth, all over earth
Oh, be the light, Oh
Be the light, Oh
Be the light, Oh, woah
Be the light that you wish to see
Radiate all your love light for free
Be the light that you wish to see
Just be the light, Oh yeah
Just be the light, be the light
