(Intro – soft reggae vibe)
Yeah man…
One love, one heart
We carry the fire, even when it’s dark
Verse 1
Morning sun breaking through concrete and gray
Streets keep talking but I find my own way
So much noise, still I hear my soul
Searching for peace, trying to stay whole
They say, “Brother, stay real in this time”
But what is real when the truth’s hard to find?
I hold on tight to what is true
A little bit of love can pull you through
Every scar is a lesson learned
Every loss is a fire that burned
What tried to break me made me see
There’s a fighter living inside of me
Pre-Chorus (melodic)
And when the rain falls down
I still feel the light within
No matter how the world spins ‘round
I won’t give in
Chorus (warm, uplifting reggae hook)
I’ve got the light within
Even when the sky is burning
No shadow lasts forever
When your heart keeps turning
We rise again and again
With love as our shield against the fear
I’ve got the light within
And no one takes it from here
Verse 2
Too many chasing power and gold
Losing their spirit, losing their soul
I won’t build my dreams on sand
I stand on truth, on heart, on plan
Mama said, “Stay honest, my son”
Even when the road feels long and undone
I see them running in circles fast
Trapped in a shine that never lasts
Freedom grows inside your mind
When you know your truth, your design
No hate gonna rule my way
I choose forgiveness every day
Pre-Chorus
And when the rain falls down
I still feel the light within
No matter how the world spins ‘round
I won’t give in
Chorus (bigger, harmonies)
I’ve got the light within
Even when the sky is burning
No shadow lasts forever
When your heart keeps turning
We rise again and again
With love as our shield against the fear
I’ve got the light within
And no one takes it from here
Bridge (half spoken, building up)
No chains can hold me down
No fear can steal my crown
Whatever comes my way
I stay rooted, I stay
One love in my DNA
No war in the words I pray
When truth is living in your soul
You’ll never lose control
Final Chorus (strong & uplifting)
I’ve got the light within
And I let it shine brighter now
Every soul deserves a spark
So let’s show them how
We rise again and again
With hope ringing loud and clear
I’ve got the light within
And it’s staying right here. 🌿🔥
