AmHey now, Call you sinners

Put your lights on, put your lights on

Cause there's a Ammonster living Eunder my bed
AmWhispering in my eEar
There's an Amangel, with a Ehand on my head

There's a Amdarkness, livin' Edeep in my soul
AmI still got a purpose to sEerve
So let your Amlight shine, deep Einto my hole
AmGod, don't let me lose my nEerve
Don't let me lose my nerve

The story behind the song

This song was written by Everlast during his recovery from a major heart attack, making it one of his most personal creations. He describes it as being about hope, emerging from a dark place, questioning beliefs, and affirming what's in your soul. Everlast, who converted to Islam, included the Arabic phrase "La ilaha illa Allah" ("There is no God but God") at the end of the song, the first part of the Islamic profession of faith. Santana insisted on its inclusion when Everlast contributed the song for their 1999 album, Supernatural. Playing this song feels like a journey through struggle and doubt, ultimately finding affirmation and light.
