David Kushner "Daylight" Official Lyrics & Meaning | Verified 

thank you for having me, it was truly an honor ❤

Every time he starts singing i get goosebumps ALL THE TIME

His voice is actually amazing even without auto tune

I love how David is speaking about the actual struggles of trying to build a relationship with God yk . It’s rare to find a Christian song that dives so deeply into the dark side . I’m glad he made this song , showing that everything isn’t sunshine and rainbows and how people make mistakes , which is okay . Everything about this song is amazing , from his voice , the lyrics , the backstory and everything in between !

I was hoping he would belt out the chorus and he did and the chills it gave me

I love how David doesn’t just write songs about love like many other artists. I love this song, not only because I’m a Christian, but also because this song hits deep for me. It’s hard to forgive yourself and it’s hard to trust and build your relationship with God. I first listened to this song when I was in a bad mental state. This song really helped me find who I was and it helped me through a hard time. I love David and I’ll never forget him for creating a song that helped me. His voice is amazing and he’s really cute! ❤️

I absolutely love this. Being a Christian and building a relationship with God is HARD, and that's something that's often overlooked. And we are going to make mistakes, and have to ask for forgiveness. I'm so happy that he addresses this stuff in his song.

I love how amazing his vocals are, I discovered David Kushner and his songs a few months ago and had been absolutely in love with all of his songs. ❤️❤️

I really like songs like this. Very raw and as a Christian, I like songs that aren’t just worship/gospel songs that many people can relate to

From alcohol abuse to pornography this song speaks to everyone's heart on an emotional level like no other. It is one of the most relatable songs especially for Christians.... Truly a masterpiece.👌

The feeling that I am struggling right now to fight & resist temptation & addiction. Understanding the meaning of this song shares some light & comfort.

I love that this song is about the inner conflict within the same person.. people know me as the nicest person ever,,, while in fact I am just a people pleaser and I hate myself for that. everyday I ask myself when am I gonna stop?.. When will I put myself first? but then, I've been distant from God so I convinced myself that this is my punishment! "Can you spare any mercy that you might find" is the line I relate to the most.

I’m a proffessional singer, (though I wish I was better at writing music like him) and I just have to say it’s so refreshing to hear such a soulful, richly toned baritone voice especially from someone around my age. (I’m 18, going into college) most of the time young singers such as myself and others aren’t exposed to many “soulful” singers just because we were raised with a very pop like sound, but with your range, and your control, you ABSOLUTELY fit that dark deep tone perfectly, and not many people can pull that off. Hats off to you my guy. I could listen to your voice all day

he has such a raw and powerful voice oml

Though I doubt this comment will receive many upvotes, I feel compelled to share my thoughts in the hope that it may resonate with someone and remind them they are not alone. I recently listened to David explaining the meaning behind his lyrics, and it struck a chord with me as I'm going through a similar experience in my life right now. Today, after the midday prayer at the Mosque, I found myself feeling overwhelmed and alone. Despite facing challenges such as an uncertain test, heartbreak, and family issues, I couldn't help but break down in tears. In that vulnerable moment, I uttered, "today was a good day," even though it wasn't objectively true. However, I followed that with a realization of how grateful I am for the opportunity to be with the people I love and cherish, and the chance to change and improve myself. It was a rare instance of me shedding tears, as I usually try to stay strong and seek solace in God's love to fill the deep and dark void within me. Strangely, I often feel undeserving of any form of love, and I can't fully appreciate it until I prove myself to be worthy. Though I've been down a dark and challenging path, I've always felt the presence of a higher power beside me, never forsaking me. Despite being a social person and well-known at my university, people only see the surface level of who I am. Sometimes, it seems like I can make everyone else happy, but I struggle to find satisfaction within myself. In sharing this, I hope others who may feel similarly will understand that they are not alone in their struggles. We all face battles that might not be visible to others, but it's crucial to remember that we deserve love and compassion, even when we're at our lowest points. Let's strive to be kinder to ourselves and appreciate the journey of growth and change that lies ahead.

"Tried to follow your light but it's nighttime" This is deep.

His voice is absolutely so perfect for these lyrics. My family thinks he has such a gift 😊 Keep pushing!

I'm personally not a religious person in the slightest so I've interpreted this song very differently. That's something I think is really beautiful about music. It really means something different to everyone. I don't know much about this artist but his voice is breathtaking and this song is absolutely beautiful and so fun to play

This actually made me cry because I relate to the trying for forgiveness but not forgiving yourself, it's really inspiring the way you explained it and represented it in the song. I love your voice it's so unique

This song is so touching and relatable, I am so happy David was able to come here and talk about this song! It really touched me when I first heard it and I can't stop listening to it too! He's so talented!

I love the lyrics and I love the unique God given talent & your amazing voice. It’s a blessing & one that blesses us all. Thank you! Music ministers 👍♥️🙏

I absolutely love this song. I wondered what the original meaning was so I’m glad this video happened. My sister moved out in January and I had been completely grounded up until three days ago and I had no contact with her or many others at all. It was really hard because me and her have been through everything together and I felt like I lost her, this song was very comforting to me because it described how I felt.

One of the few songs nowadays that can actually be explained and has a true meaning to it and can be understood by the listener

What a powerful voice! He's incredibly talented and yet so down to earth. Simply impressive.

I love this song my sin is going back to sadness and thinking negative about myself and like the song says I love the sadness and emptiness but i hate that i'm sad and lonely at the same time. that's probably why i love this song so much we all have our struggles and this song perfectly captures not wanting to go back to sin but always deciding you should.

My daughters dad has just passed away from years of alcohol abuse. He was just 50. last week we held his funeral and played this song at the closing of his service. Powerful stuff

My friend one day sent this song to me and I sat and listened and the shear depth of it hit me. Since the fall of man. We have had the tendency to do evil or to sin. Also known as human nature. And to me, part of this song describes the fight between the side of us that desires to do right and the side that desires to do evil. Like two faces of a person fighting for control. “2 sinners can’t atone for a lone prayer.” Asking God to forgive us, but only one “person” or side wants it. To be honest my words can’t express the spiritual depth that the lyrics of this song hold. It talks about a fight and the fight is real. Thank you!

Love this speaks wonders on his personality 🙏🏻 and how we are all fighting our demons God Bless you 🤍

What an amazing way to explain the lyrics. This young man’s voice is extraordinary. God given talent

A lot of todays artists can’t even sing their own songs without the aid of a studio. You can tell Kushner is truly talented.

I absolutely love your voice,I've watched the video 10 times and each time got goosebumps and tears...love your voice.

The way he put so much story into the song is amazing and a great one at that.This song lives deep in my heart

Beautifully written and beautifully sung .. dude has killer voice! Love it!

You are so brave; talking about God's relationship in our days is just for people who are brave; this song helps me to understand the importance of starting our journey, not Mather how many times you were in the darkness. ❤️❤️💪💪

OMG you such a talented ! Even singing acapella you sound like an angel! I shared your video to my sister who is addicted to drugs and homeless! I hope to God it resonates with her! Thank you for such a a beautiful and meaningful song! Elk Grove is beautiful too!

I've just discovered you David wow I love your voice and your songs are brilliant! love from the UK x

This song is so soothing... I could listen to it for hours❤

Finally someone who doesn’t have a faked voice that’s ruined by autotune and a stupid beat. He’s geniuenly good at what he does and that’s rare. ❤

Your voice is so emotional. It lays it all on the line. Thank you for sharing

This is one of my favorite songs ever omg. David is such a goober.

I love his voice its so calming, and the music just makes you feel something yk?

Not religious, but this song is my absolute favorite thing. The emotion, the epitome of the human experience, I can’t believe it is not even more popular.

1st David has one of the most amazing voices Ive ever heard. I feel this song in my soul.. David reminds me of my son Adrian, both in physical characteristics & personality.. ❤️

Wow amazing! I absolutely love the depth of this song. It speaks on so many levels. It’s very deep!

I have never interpreted the meaning of 'day light' myself ... ,somehow it pushes me to do things right even though how hard it my be. Thankyou for this song & goodnight guys

Hello David, greetings from 🇵🇪 Perú. I really like your song because your voice and the lyrics are a perfect mix. God bless David 😘

This song being Christian makes me so insanely happy. I struggle with my faith all the time.

I heard your song on the radio for first time , one verse in, that voice those words, I was instantly hooked! We all have this internal struggle, thank you for bringing it all to the Daylight! God Bless! Love your amazing voice and Talent, looking forward to more of your brilliance!

I was at the Boston calling and you were just unbelievable!!!!! You are so talented!!!!! Your voice makes me feel very special and happy thank you 😊

The 2nd verse is so powerful and amazing ❤

I’m so happy we got an explanation because I love listening to Christian focused music that conveys deep meanings like Daylight ❤

God this hits me so deep in my soul being a recovering addict. Always running from the darkness.❤

I love daivd I knew the meaning God bless him I feel the same way I can’t do it alone

Thank you for writing this song David

I like how he wasn’t afraid to say that Daylight is about God! ❤

This song is so beautiful, so deep, so pure, thank you! ❤️

Just how david says that he was speaking to god and asking forgivenes enters my hearth bruh god bless you all

I love every song David makes 💜💜 I hope he makes more

I hope David will read This comment. Your voice is so magical and soothing. I feel that you should create an album of lullabies for adults.

I was so surprised to hear such lyrics being cried out in this song when I heard it in full for the first time. So heartfelt confrontation of the things we ignore in ourselves everyday, running from it, running from God when all he wants is to give us life in full, in a way incompressible by our materialistic worldly understandings. Man, so good, keep up the good work. You are bringing awareness, I’m sure this has stricken the hearts of millions whether they choose to acknowledge and try to turn to the light and forgiveness of God’s love or not. You’re shedding light into a dark world. Thank you and God bless you man

Daylight is the best song I've ever heard. Thank you. Chills❤

Been waiting for this and seeing him grown
