A few days ago, the American pop punk band We The Kings released a brand new single from their new EP SAGA called ‘The Light’. What’s special about this particular song is that it is one of the few songs that came out of the song-writing sessions Pierre, Chuck and Travis Clark (We The Kings’ lead singer) did in the span of the last few years.

Travis discussed the song recently on his Instagram, where he also mentioned that he co-wrote this song with the help of Simple Plan’s main song-writers, Pierre and Chuck:

“Our 5th single from SAGA is a song called ‘The Light’, which also reflects our 5th album, ‘Strange Love’. Both have themes of finding hope in dark times as well as understanding that sometimes those tough times make you more grateful of the happy ending.

There is no way to say that 2020 wasn’t a struggle for our world. So when we were writing the song, we wanted to offer people a sign of hope that this won’t last forever. I wrote this song with my good friends Pierre and Chuck from the band Simple Plan which I am incredibly grateful for, for us, we all use music to heal and sometimes to escape life and I hope that this song helps us all to see the light at the end of this tunnel.”

Chuck also promoted the song recently on his Instagram Stories, explaining that the main theme of this song were mental health struggles, a topic that is especially important right now, as so many people are having a hard time dealing with the state of the world we’re currently living in. Check out what Chuck wrote about ‘The Light’:

“Pierre and I co-wrote this new We The Kings song with Travis Clark and it just came out a few days ago! Go check it out and let me know what you think! It’s about mental health, overcoming obstacles, getting through tough times… Maybe some of you could find it helpful during these difficult times. I hope you enjoy it.”

You can listen to the entire song below and since we couldn’t find any of the lyrics to this song online just yet, we decided to put them all together ourselves. You can sing along to the song now:

WE THE KINGS – THE LIGHT

For the longest time I felt I couldn’t breath
Cause the darkest clouds would storm inside of me

Like I was drowning in the deepest, darkest sea
And I’d come up for air but the waves crushed down on me

I’m tired of feeling like I’m broken
I found the strength to find my way

Now I can see the light at the end of the tunnel
I’m done with all the days of the pain and the struggle
Say goodbye to all the nights I was under the rubble
Now I can see the light at the end of the tunnel

And I can finally breathe
Yeah, I can finally breathe

I try thousands times but the mountain felt too high
And the weight of the world would never let me climb
let me further back behind
And giving up was the only thing I never tried

I’m tired of feeling like I’m broken
I found the strength to find my way

Now I can see the light at the end of the tunnel
I’m done with all the days of the pain and the struggle
Say goodbye to all the nights I was under the rubble
Now I can see the light at the end of the tunnel

And I can finally breathe
Yeah, I can finally breathe
Yeah, I can finally breathe

Now when I close my eyes I know I’ll be just fine
