Search for the light
And follow where it leads
It will guide you on your journey
It will tend to all your needs.

The light is always there
Sometimes it’s just a spark
In times of loss and confusion
It will help you through the dark

Look for it in shadows
When the path seems unclear
Let it shine a little brighter
As you move away from fear

Each step brings you closer
To the dreams you hold so tight
With hope burning gently
You can face the longest night

So when the road gets heavy
And you feel you’ve lost your way
Trust in the light beside you
It will light your path each day ..
