{I've Seen the Light}

[Pharrell]
Four in the morning she appeared there to me
Said she had the secret to life
She wandered to my heart and said that you'll believe
Felt my neck and then opened my eyes

[Hook]
But I've seen the light
I've seen the light, you're the one girl
And then it hit me, it felt like lightning
And then it hit me I wasn't frightened
Cause I've seen the light

[Pharrell]
Things will soon change, you will see, you will see
The light will chase away the dark
She said you'll be okay if you listen to me
All the superstars are burning out

[Hook]

[Pharrell]
Yes we've got dreams, something you won't believe
The desert was hot, the air was dry
She gave me instruction to play my magic keys
And magic treats starts falling from the sky

[Hook]

{Inside of Clouds}

I can smell it when I go outside (outside)
Then it just pours
It gives us peace then all in the town is quiet (outside)
That's what rains for

All the kids see rain and scream no no
Run off the bus and they will just stay in
Me I love her rain fills the potholes
Me and my cell but that's what we played in
Ever wonder exactly where the sun goes
Did it go or did something shade it?
The sun gives light cuz it is the window
The rain gives life cuz it is amazing(x2)

The inside of clouds (the inside of clouds)
That's the window to the sky
Proves it
The inside of clouds (the inside of clouds)
That's the window to the sky
Proves there's life

[Pharrell Williams & Chad Hugo]
All the kids see rain and scream no no
Run off the bus and they will just stay in
Me I love how rain fills the potholes
Me and my cell but that's what we played in
Ever wonder exactly where the sun goes
Did it go or did something shade it?
The sun gives light cuz it is the window
The rain gives life cuz it is amazing

The inside of clouds (the inside of clouds)
That's the window into the sky
Proves there's life

N.E.R.D. (officially stylized as NER*D, as seen on their covers) is a backronym that stands for No-One Ever Really Dies.

N.E.R.D. is a hip-hop and rock band whose members include Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo, also known as The Neptunes, and Shae Haley. The band was formed as a side project by the Neptunes in 1999. Williams and Hugo had known each other since 1985 when they were 12, and they met Shae Haley a few years later in high school. Hugo and Williams signed a deal when they graduated high school in 1992 and eventually, Hailey joined them when N.E.R.D. was formed.

In September 2001 the band released their first album, In Search Of in Europe. They used digital production for the project but when they prepared for the worldwide release a year later they opted to re-record the album with a live funk rock band known as Spymob. Two years later in March of 2004, they released their second album, Fly or Die. Unfortunately, the two albums didn’t have nearly as much success as The Neptunes production work—collectively the two albums barely broke a million copies sold. In 2005 the group supposedly disbanded because of a dispute with Virgin Records, but Pharrell contradicted this claim in an April 2008
