Light Remembered

I’ve been walking through the shadows,

With a heart too tired to run,

Counting every broken dream,

Wondering where I went wrong.

But somewhere past the silence,

I heard a whisper in the dark,

Saying, “You’re not finished yet,

You’re still carrying a spark.”

And even when the night feels endless,

Even when the road is hard,

There’s a little voice inside me Saying,

“Hold on to your heart.”

When the light comes back,

When the clouds roll away,

I’ll be standing stronger Than I was yesterday.

Every tear I cried Was a river to the sun,

Every road I lost Was leading me to one.

So I’ll keep believing,

No matter how far I fall— Hope is still alive,

Hope is still calling.

When the light comes back,

I’ll be ready for it all.

I’ve seen flowers grow through concrete,

I’ve seen stars break through the blue,

I’ve watched a wounded heart Find a reason to renew.

Maybe life is not a straight line,

Maybe falling is okay,

Sometimes we must lose the darkness Just to recognize the day.

And even when my hands are shaking,

Even when I’m scared to start,

I’ll follow that small heartbeat

Beating softly

in the dark.

When the light comes back,

When the clouds roll away,

I’ll be standing stronger

Than I was yesterday.

Every tear I cried Was a river to the sun,

Every road I lost Was leading me to one.

So I’ll keep believing,

No matter how far I fall— Hope is still alive,

Hope is still calling.

When the light comes back,

I’ll be ready for it all.

If you’re tired, take a breath,

If you’re broken, rest your heart.

You don’t have to see tomorrow

To believe a new day starts.

One small step, one little spark,

Can become a rising flame.

And the life you thought was over

May be waiting just ahead.

When the light comes back,

I will open up my eyes,

I’ll turn every scar I carry

Into wings across the sky.

Every tear I cried

Will become a part of who I am,

Every storm I survived

Will remind me that I can.

I’ll keep believing, Even when I cannot see— Hope is still alive,

Hope is still inside me.

When the light comes back,

I’ll become who I was meant to be.

So if tonight feels endless,

And you’re standing in the dark,

Hold on just a little longer… There is still a spark.

There is still a spark.

And someday…

The light will come back.
