Me myself, only more so

 

Being in the light

has shown me no more than

standing in the shadows.

I am me myself,

only more so

 

Disregarding wounds

has taught me no more than

weeping them clean.

I am me myself,

only more so

 

Hiding in a crowd

has revealed no more than

standing alone.

I am me myself,

only more so

 

Waiting for rain

has soothed me no more than

traversing deserts.

I am me myself,

only more so.

 

Longing to be rescued

has given me no more than

picking myself up.

I am me myself,

only more so.

Let’s light a light.

 

You’ve hidden your light,

You’ve dimmed your joy.

So let’s light a light

And dispel the darkness.

 

You’ve tried to please,

You played it small.

So let’s light a light

And dispel the darkness.

 

Sitting in the shadows won’t get you seen

Sitting alone won’t make you friends.

So let’s light a light

And dispel the darkness.

 

Sitting quiet won’t get your song sung,

Sitting still won’t get your voice heard.

So let’s light a light

And dispel the darkness.

 

They’d rather you dimmed your light

So others don’t own theirs.

They’d rather you hid in the shadows

So others don’t step out

So let’s light a light

And dispel the darkness.

 

They’d rather you dumb

So others don’t laugh

They’d rather you numb

So others don’t dance

So let’s light a light

And dispel the darkness.

 

You’ve been given the tools to shine bright

You’ve been given the joy to share

So let’s light a light

And dispel the darkness.

 

You’ve been given challenges to burnish

You’ve been given inspirations to sparkle

So let’s light a light

And dispel the darkness

And live.

Sh
