about

Things have been rough a while....
This song was written in the early stages of the pandemic, during times of great protest against racial and gender inequality, and climate change. This is a hymn to optimism. Things can be dark, but there will be light.

lyrics

Standing in the LIght
tempting murphy

VERSE 1:
This life has been rough awhile
Like never before
A world of madness
Everywhere I turn
I’m navigating the roughest seas
I’m taking on water
Struggling to find peace
Overcome with concern

CHORUS:
Standing in the light God knows
In the light God knows
Is where I need to go

VERSE 2:
It’s got to come round again
Things can only get better
We could be so happy again
This much is true
I’m filled with confidence
We’ll get through this together
With all that remains broken
Let’s see what we can do

CHORUS:
Standing in the light God knows
In the light God knows
Is where I need to go
Standing in the light God knows
In the light God knows
Is where I need to go

BRIDGE:
There is one thing I have to say
I couldn’t have made it this far
Without you

INSTRUMENTAL VERSE:

CHORUS:
Standing in the light God knows
In the light God knows
Is where I need to go
Standing in the light God knows
In the light God knows
Is where I need to go

OUTRO:
We’ve got some work to do
Like never before
