The Little Light Inside
I used to sing in church about the little light of mine and letting it shine.
When I was attacked, I forgot about that light.
I stopped singing, did things out of spite.
The face in the mirror was no longer mine.
A face once supple and warm and sweet
Now turned cold and hostile and dull
She wasn't me
She isn't me, I thought.
So I fought to find my little light again
I fought to make it shine.
The sun came out differently that day
I started to sing.
I looked into the mirror as I sang
I started to glow
That glow has kept me going
And I will continue to glow to show
