[Verse 1] If I stare through ego, I make a foe of dawn Dark glasses on my face And I call it truth The fault-finding eye grows blind The heart keeps the lamp Break the lens of pride Let the veil fall down [Pre-Chorus] What if the wall is me? What if the wall is thin? What if the gate is love And I walk right in? [Chorus] Follow the light within Follow the light within No applause can lead me home Only that silent flame Follow the light within Follow the light within Every wall becomes a door When love speaks my name (my name) [Verse 2] Family, crowd, and system Stack their brick and rule But the soul was born before Their sharp-edged school Outside praise is smoke It fades on the wind Inside there is an ancient fire That never needs to win [Pre-Chorus] What if the wall is me? What if the wall is thin? What if the gate is love And I walk right in? [Chorus] Follow the light within Follow the light within No applause can lead me home Only that silent flame Follow the light within Follow the light within Every wall becomes a door When love speaks my name (my name) [Bridge] Cress for the blood Soft green, clean rain Nail grass on the skin Where the old wounds remain Heal what was poisoned Heal what was split A healer of my own life I become by it [Final Chorus] Follow the light within Follow the light within No applause can lead me home Only that silent flame Follow the light within Follow the light within I pass through stone like breath When love speaks my name (my name)
