Verse 1
I used to fight the night
Try to outrun every shadow
Close my eyes real tight
Pray the silence wouldn’t follow
But it always found my door
Sat quiet on the floor
Didn’t say a word
Just waited for the war
⸻
Pre-Chorus
I thought it came to end me
Thought it came to win
But every time it knocked me down
It built my skin
⸻
🌤 Chorus (bright, singable)
There’s a light in the dark
I found it in my chest
Every scar left a spark
Every fall did the rest
You can walk beside me
But you don’t own my heart
I found who I am
In the dark
Oh-oh
In the dark
⸻
Verse 2
It rode with me for miles
Through the long uncertain years
Heard me laugh, saw me smile
Felt the weight of all my fears
But I’m still here breathing
Still got fire in my lungs
Turns out all that breaking
Was just making me strong
⸻
Pre-Chorus
It didn’t come to save me
Didn’t come to stay
But every time it tested me
I found my way
⸻
🌤 Chorus (bigger, harmonies)
There’s a light in the dark
I found it in my chest
Every scar left a spark
Every fall did the rest
You can walk beside me
But you don’t own my heart
I found who I am
In the dark
⸻
Bridge (soft, stripped back)
If it never showed up
I’d never know my strength
If the night never came
I’d never see my depth
You were never my enemy
Never my friend
Just the road I had to walk
To know who I am
⸻
Final Chorus (lifted, feel-good)
There’s a light in the dark
And it’s burning in me
Every bruise left a mark
But it set me free
You can walk beside me
But you don’t own my heart
I found my light
In the dark
