I Am The Light

When you are down in the dark
And you are searching for some bright
And there don’t seem
To be much in sight.

Repeat to yourself:

‘That’s alright
I’ve the stomach for a fight
And that must just mean
I am the light’.

When you are looking for some help
To help you make it through the night
Might be a little on your left
Very little on your right.

Repeat to yourself:

‘That’s alright
I’ve the stomach for a fight
And that must just mean
I am the light’.

When you are feeling weak
And you feel a little alone
The pain is sitting deep
But only you can set the tone.

When people can’t fight for you
But there’s fighting still to do
In a world quick to ignore you
There’s only one thing you can do.

Repeat to yourself:

‘That’s alright
I’ve the stomach for a fight
And that must just mean
I am the light’.

When the darkness hits
And you are forced to your pits
You must steal your heart and wits
Put your own spark in it.

The more you fight for yourself
The more light you create
And the more time you give others to help
And give yourself some breathing space.

And if we don’t fight for ourselves
Who’s going to fight with us?
Most people out there
Just be siding with the victors.

So when you are down in the depths
And you are searching for some bright
And there don’t seem
To be much in sight.

Repeat to yourself:

‘That’s alright
I’ve the stomach for a fight
And that must just mean
I am the light’.
