What Light - Wilco

If you feel like singing a song

And you want other people to sing along

Just sing what you feel

Don’t let anyone say it’s wrong

And if you’re trying to paint a picture

But you’re not sure which colors belong

Just paint what you see

Don’t let anyone say it’s wrong

And if you’re strung out like a kite

Or stung awake in the night

It’s alright to be frightened

When there’s a light (what light)

There’s a light (one light)

There’s a light (white light)

Inside of you

If you think you might need somebody

To pick you up when you drag

Don’t lose sight of yourself

Don’t let anyone change your bag

And if the whole world’s singing your songs

And all of your paintings have been hung

Just remember what was yours is everyone’s from now on

And that’s not wrong or right

But you can struggle with it all you like

You’ll only get uptight
