Be the light 🍁(Campfire Version)

Verse 1 There was a time, not so long ago World felt lighter, softer in the glow Maybe it was me, maybe I just didn’t see All the weight that was waiting underneath I turned away from the noise and the fear Didn’t chase every headline in my ear I knew the storm was out there somewhere But I stayed with the spark I could carry here ⸻ Pre-Chorus I kept my hands in the fire I could tend Built my light, didn’t try to bend All the things I could never control I just guarded the flame in my soul ⸻ Chorus I chose the light, I chose the flame Even when the world was not the same And when the dark came closing in I felt it reaching under my skin But the more I fed it, the more it grew Took the color out of everything I knew Now I see what I’m meant to do— Be the light… be the light ⸻ Verse 2 Then I started looking a little too close Reading every shadow, every ghost Far away turned into right next door And I couldn’t shut it out anymore Every word just pulled me in Every story carved a little deeper in The more I took, the more it stayed Like a quiet thief that never fades ⸻ Pre-Chorus I tried to fight it, push it away But it kept finding cracks in the day And I learned what it costs to see When you forget what you’re meant to be ⸻ Chorus I chose the light, I chose the flame Even when the world was not the same And when the dark came closing in I felt it reaching under my skin But the more I fed it, the more it grew Took the color out of everything I knew Now I see what I’m meant to do— Be the light… be the light ⸻ Bridge Sometimes you don’t fight the night You just learn how to hold your light Grow it slow, let it breathe Give it space, let it lead What you carry, you become What you focus on, it hums So I’m choosing what I ignite I’m choosing… I’m choosing light ⸻ Final Chorus (lift) I’ll be the light, I’ll be the flame Even when the world won’t change When the dark comes rushing in I won’t let it live within I’ll protect what I know is true There’s a fire in me and you And it’s stronger than we knew— Be the light… be the light
