Ray Of Light
written & performed by Hook
Uncertain future
uneventful past
complicated assumptions
too good to last

But in the nick of time
from out of the Shadows
I see a ray of light
shining bright
guiding me

Battered Bridges
Facing another storm
Stability is undetermined
Consider yourself warned

But in the nick of time
the current seems to calm
I see a ray of light
shining bright
guiding me

Under some watchful eye
who's watching me
under the star-filled sky
who's watching me
Under a cloudy night
who is watching me
What is it they see

Mending fences
connecting with the past
Moving forward
however fast

And in the nick of time
it all comes into Focus
I see a ray of light
shining bright
guiding me

Because the Hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can rely

Nice production Hook. Well written song, definitely has atmosphere.
Laid back, liking that.

Nice pic James, goes well with the relaxed vibe of the song.

Life is not about the number of Breathes you take, it is the amount of times your breathe is taken away

I love this song.
Theres a paticular chord progressions that I almost thought was going to go in a different direction and it pulled in another.
One of my favourites from you in a while.
Well done bro.
