Let in the light as the tears fall,
Let in the light when you’ve given your all.
Darkness may linger, jubilance may stall,
But hope’s healing light can break down that wall.

Through shadows of doubt and despair,
Stand defiant, fierce, and fair.
Don’t let the past’s burdens ensnare,
Rise once more, strong and aware.

Let in the light as the tears fall,
Let in the light when you’ve given your all.
Darkness may linger, jubilance may stall,
But truth’s healing light hears your call.

With every breath, forge ahead,
Know who you are, no matter what’s said.
Find strength within, a soul well-fed,
To face the challenges life has ahead.

Let in the light as the tears fall,
Let in the light when you’ve given your all.
Darkness may linger, jubilance may stall,
But love’s healing light dissipates a looming pall.
