When we find ourselves walking in bright light
After many months or years in the darkOur reaction is that we’ve become lost
Missing true signs of what’s actually found
From the shock of this light we forget hopeMourning ourselves in the throes of despair
Yet, the truth is there’s no need to despair
We have been seeking just this very light
It’s the understanding for which we hope
Illumination from abysmal dark
Too often we don’t realize what we’ve found
Fearing the world we know is being lost
When not one single blessed thing is lost
And we are just indulging in despair
For great is the gain in what we have found
When we have worked so hard discov’ring light
To learn we’ve been addicted to the dark
Our only choices die or live in hope
Should we accept our fate and choose to hope
And own the fact that we’ve always been lost
Our eyes adjust, no longer need the dark
We see that there is no need to despair
We look with new found eyes and let this light
Shine brightly on all new things we have found
We’re shaken to the core by truths we’ve found
Yet, in them see bright rays of greater hope
Accepting, we still seek a brighter light
For with all this new knowledge we’re still lost
But not lost in the throes of bleak despair
Our eyes no longer see well in the dark
We come to understand that there’ll be dark
Wherever things which block the light are found
Such shadows will no longer cause despair
For we have learned to focus upon hope
That through our faith alone we’re never lostWe pay this price so we may live in light.
We're made of light and must avoid the dark
Accepting we’re lost so we may be found
Champions of hope victors o’er despair.
