[Verse 1]
Booyah, there's a place in the way-out-o-sphere
Do you want to burn the midnight oil?
Does it fool ya when you think there's no way out of here?
Let it pull ya from the outside to within

[Chorus]
The light inside is burnin' bright
The light makes everything all right
The light inside is burnin' bright
The light inside, oh yeah, all right

[Verse 2]
May I introduce ya to my point of view?
Me, I wanna get under your skin
I want to find you from the pleasure that I get from you
I wanna drag you from the outside to within

[Chorus]
The light inside is burnin' bright
The light makes everything all right
The light inside is burnin' bright
The light inside, oh yeah, all right
Yeah, yeah

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
The light inside is burning
The light inside is burning
The light inside is burnin' bright
The light inside, oh yeah, all right

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
The light inside is burnin' bright
The light makes everything all right
The light inside is burnin' bright
The light inside, oh yeah, all right

Aerosmith is an American rock band, sometimes referred to as “The Bad Boys from Boston” and “America’s Greatest Rock and Roll Band.” Formed in 1970, its founding members are Steven Tyler (vocals, keyboards, harmonica), Tom Hamilton (bass), Joey Kramer (drums), Joe Perry (guitar, vocals) and Brad Whitford (guitar).

The band released their eponymous debut studio album in 1973 featuring the single “Dream On,” which remains one of their most popular songs. Their next four albums made them rock stars across the US and Canada, spawning the hits “Sweet Emotion”, “Last Child”, “Walk This Way”, “Back In The Saddle”, “Draw The Line”, and a cover of “Come Together” for the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band Soundtrack.

Before the release of their fifth album Draw The Line, the band’s substance abuse began to destroy them. Perry quit after a backstage fight with Tyler in 1979, and Whitfield left two years later. Despite moderate sales, the band’s fifth and sixth albums were considered flops when compared to the band’s past accomplishments. When Perry and Whitfield returned in 1984, their eighth album Done With Mirrors was also deemed unsuccessful despite strong reviews. Doug Herzog (MTV, VH1)
