The Light

Do you remember?
We used to swim in the moonlight after dark
Do you remember?
The way the windows broke the light
I still remember
We used to never be scared when we were young
Tell me, do you remember at all?

Like a flash in the dark
And my lost winter land is unfrozen
Just a glow from a spark
Can ignite a candle bright
Peaceful shine awoken inside

I can fall a thousand times and dance on burning embers
Just a warm embrace, or a touch of grace
A first heartbeat of new life
You can fall a thousand times, as long as you remember
All you need in the end is a long-lost friend
To remind you through the night
That joy is the light

Do you remember?
Us running wild with the wind beneath our wings
Cold snow in December
When we defied the steepest hill
I still remember
Without a care in the world, forever high
I will always remember it all

There was a time when I was lost in darkness
The greatest pain that I have ever felt
In agony and misery I wandered without light
With nothing there to fill the hole inside

There was a night, I saw my eyes deceiving me
Fooling myself
I was a victim of circumstance
But tonight I feel the lies all leaving me
I am breaking free
It’s a choice that you can’t leave to chance

I'm forging my life in the fires awoken inside
