Out of the Shadows
The shadows are all around me
Yet I see them not
The shadows are deep within me
I feel the darkness weep
My life I feel is a waste
A burden too heavy to hold
My life I feel is a waste
I see the darkness weep
I have love from many around me
But it matters not a jot
I give love to many around me
I know the darkness weeps
I feel pain from all that surrounds me
I hold the pain close to me
I see pain in all that surrounds me
I know the darkness weep
Into The Light
I light the candle inside me
A ray of hope, a glimmer of truth
I light the candle inside me
Knowledge, belief and self-love
I see the candle inside me
Small flame shimmering and true
I feel the candle inside me
My life slowly grows
I share the candle inside me
With many of those that I love
I hold out the candle inside me
That others will learn how to grow
I see the candles around me
Glowing strongly against the night
I see the flame of the candles
Holding back the shadows of doubt
I know the candles are around me
Fighting fear, hatred and despair
We all have our candles to hold us
Strong in a world of pain and confusion
Hold tight to your candles of light
Hold tight to your candles of love
Hold tight to your candles of knowledge
Hold tight to your candles of hope
