light before dusk

In the quiet before the dawn

Your glow arrives, steady and strong

I stand in the wake of your grace

Tracing the edge

of your light on my face

You move ahead of every shade

Illuminating paths I never made

You are the light that precedes my shadow

The flame that carves through the dark unknown

In your warmth I find where I

belong

You are the light that precedes my shadow

Every step I take follows yours

Your radiance opens

forgotten doors

I chase the glow you leave behind

In your presence my darkness unwinds

No darkness can claim what you ignite

You lead the way through endless night

You are the light that precedes my shadow

The flame that carves through the dark unknown

In your warmth I find where I

belong

You are the light that precedes my shadow

If I lose you the night would consume

But your light always

returns too

soon

You are the light that precedes my shadow

The flame that carves through the dark unknown

In your warmth I find where I belong

You are the light that precedes my shadow (forever)

You are the light...

precedes my shadow
