(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. 🌿🔥
