All Your Light (Times Like These) Lyrics

I'm just a shadow of a bigger man
Glowing brighter with each year I am
I was standing on a mountain
Just looking down (on you, on you)

It's like my daddy said
"You gotta use your head
My body won't work for nobody but me, son"
Yeah, no one said that I aim to please

All your light can't save me
All your light, all your light can't save me
I won't wait, though my time may come
I can't wait, I can't wait, for my time to come
"My body won't work for nobody but me, son"

As a boy, I had it figured out
There are things that you can't live without
But money, it's sad but true, would surely top that list
And your rules (your rules), your rules, well they would not be missed

And I became
Whole again
'Cause no one said, no one said, no one said
There'd be times like these

I said all your light can't save me
All your light, all your light can't save me
I won't wait, though my time may come
I can't wait, I can't wait, for my time to come

"My body won't work for nobody but me, son"
No one said there'd be times like these
"My body won't work for nobody but me, son"
No one said there'd be times like these
"My body won't work for nobody but me, son"
No one said there'd be times like these
"My body won't work for nobody but me, son"
Well, no one said there'd be times like these

I was licking flames when I broke your reins
Still, no one said, no one said, no one said it'd be suicide

All your light can't save me
All your light, all your light can't save me
I won't wait, though my time may come
I can't wait, I can't wait, for my time to come

"My body won't work for nobody but me, son"
No one said there'd be times like these
"My body won't work for nobody but me, son"
No one said there'd be times like these

All your light can't save me
All your light, all your light can't save me
I won't wait, though my time may come
I can't wait, I can't wait, for my time to come

All your light can't save me ("My body won't work for nobody but me, son")
All your light, all your light can't save me
I won't wait, though my time may come ("My body won't work for nobody but me, son")
I can't wait, I can't wait, for my time to come

All your light can't save me
All your light, all your light can't save me
I won't wait, though my time may come
I can't wait, I can't wait, for my time to come

What is the Meaning of All Your Light (Times Like These)?

Ever feel like you're stuck in a rut, even when everyone around you seems to have it all figured out? This song dives into that feeling of personal struggle and the realization that no one else can save you but yourself. The lyrics reflect on growing up and learning hard truths—like how money often tops the list of things we think we need. Despite external pressures and expectations, the singer emphasizes self-reliance with the recurring line, "My body won't work for nobody but me, son." It's a powerful reminder that while others may offer light or guidance, ultimately, it's up to us to find our own way through tough times. 🌟
