Trip the Light by Alicia Lemke and Matt Harding

This is the song that accompanies Dancing Matt’s videos.

Lyrics to Trip the Light

If all the days that come to pass
Are behind these walls
I’ll be left at the end of things
In a world kept small

Travel far from what I know
I’ll be swept away
I need to know I can be lost
and not afraid

We’re gonna trip the light
We’re gonna break the night
And we’ll see with new eyes
When we trip the light

Remember we’re lost together
Remember we’re the same
We hold the burning rhytm in our hearts
We hold the flame

We’re gonna trip the light
We’re gonna break the night
And we’ll see with new eyes
When we trip the light
(x2)

I’ll find my way home
On the Western wind
To a place that was once my world
Back from where I’ve been

And in the morning light I’ll remember
As the sun will rise
We are all the glowing embers
Of a distant fire

We’re gonna trip the light
We’re gonna break the night
And we’ll see with new eyes
When we trip the light
(x3)

  1. Great videos Matt! Please consider Chile for a future video. My children were born there. They are a warm, friendly, welcoming people. It is at least 3 countries in 1, North-Atacama Desert 2-Middle-Santiago, and Valparaiso (very colorful), and 3-Patagonia, and Cape Horn, also of course Easter Island, and Robinson Crusoe Islands. There is a great Lonely Planet guide to Chile, and Easter Island

  2. A most wonderful way to pass along the love that is so sorely needed! I love all that you all are doing in the name of peace & love and I believe that you are reborn “flower children” and I thank you! I’d like to share my poem about the video of “Where the hell is Matt?”

    There’s Lots of Love ( Rondeau )

    There’s lots of love embedded in our dreams
    And lots of folks that like to wake these scenes
    And dancing with those others can attract
    A way for all to show that love’s intact.
    Then trade the woes of war for richer schemes.

    For those that wonder “Where the hell is Matt?”
    He’s dancing round the world, and that’s a fact,
    And should one wonder what his dance redeems —
    There’s lots of love!

    We cannot close our hearts to inexact,
    Nor wander worlds where love’s a special act –
    We must lend ears to hear those silent screams
    Then join our hands and dance to loving themes.
    Where time is right and we just interact
    There’s lots of love!

  5. So clearly there was a dispute on the publishing for this song. The video says it was written by 3 people , the credit says by one. Gotta get the credits sorted before you make the song famous or the big boys will take it away from you.
