The light is
The light is
Shining bright on me
The light is
The light is
Where I want to be
With a made up mind
And a grateful heart
I'm coming out, out, out of the dark
Out of the dark
The light is
The light is
Shining bright on me
The light is
The light is
Where I want to be
With a made up mind
And a grateful heart
I'm coming out, out, out of the dark
There was a time I couldn't see
That you had better plans for me
Your love broke through the lies
And opened up my eyes
The sun has set me free
So I am free indeed yeah
The light is
The light is
Shining bright on me
The light is
The light is
Where I want to be
With a made up mind
And a grateful heart
I'm coming out, out, out of the dark
Depression had me in a chokehold
My anxiety was a no go
Taking me out of my comfort zone
Like making me walk through the park alone
But I did it
Facing my fears
I'm winning
This is a brand new feeling
I'm free (I'm free)
I'm free (I'm free)
I'm free yeah
The light is
The light is
Shining bright on me
The light is
The light is
Where I want to be
With a made up mind
And a grateful heart
I'm coming out, out, out of the dark
I see change coming, change coming
And I know it will be alright
If I just pray on it, pray on it
He will get us through the night
Cause there's a new day coming
Joy comes with the light
I can see it (I can see it)
I see change coming, change coming
And I know it will be alright
If I just pray on it, pray on it
He will get us through the night
Cause there's a new day coming
Joy comes with the light
I can see it (I can see it)
I see change coming, change coming
And I know it will be alright
If I just pray on it, pray on it
He will get us through the night
Cause there's a new day coming
Joy comes with the light
I can see it (I can see it)
I can see the light
The light is
The light is
Shining bright on me
The light is
The light is
Where I want to be
With a made up mind
And a grateful heart
I'm coming out, out, out of the dark
The light is
The light is
Shining bright on me
The light is
The light is
Where I want to be
With a made up mind
And a grateful heart
I'm coming out, out, out of the dark
I'm coming out, out, out of the dark
I'm coming out, out, out of the dark
