When the light shines through

Darkness,

Overpowering my soul

Deeper and deeper I go

Wading further out,

In an endless sea of black 

You can take my soul

You can crush my pride 

But you can’t have my hope 

Hope keeps me strong 

Keeps me going,

Through the dark

I am a fighter

I will not be weakened 

I will not lose hope 

After countless years of darkness,

I finally see

It’s so beautiful,

Not even words can describe 

I open my eyes 

I understand 

I’m scared but fearless 

I’m free,

When the light shines through
