Light in the dark

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
