Lyrics
Turn Up The Light
(Anthony Marques) 15jul19v1
V1 Daylight I adore
For it shows me the way.
Night time, no, no more.
'Cause it disguises the shade.
Chorus Turn up the light so I can see
What's in the shadows waiting for me.
Darkness hides what they don't want us to know.
Turn up the light and it will be exposed.
V2 Take lies and deceit
And hide them with mistrust.
If we dig real deep
We will find them as we must.
Chorus Turn up the light so I can see
What's in the shadows waiting on me.
Darkness hides what they don't want us to know.
Turn up the light and it will be exposed.
V3 There'll be no defense
When we're looking for the truth
If evil evidence
Is discovered by a sleuth.
Chorus Turn up the light so I can see
What's in the shadows waiting for me.
Darkness hides what they don't want us to know.
Turn up the light and it will be exposed.
Outro Turn up the light so I can see
What's in the shadows waiting for me, waiting for me, waiting for me.
Turn up the light!
