Rap Version - The Light I Hold - No 092

Rap Version - The Light I Hold - No 092 I no longer count the days… or the years… Does it even matter anymore? It’s already been over ten… And still… I’m here… [Verse 1] I no longer count the days or the years, Does it really matter anymore? It’s already been over ten years and what’s more, I live in a world so far away from yours Where constant darkness overshadows the light, And in each new day I question the fight, Do you even know how I struggle to keep This little flame alive through the night? I was captured by the power of the dream, Heart transcribed into every verse I write, Every romantic scene, every unseen stream, Floating through the universe chasing light Still I keep my promise, I remain true, Stand up for thee, protect what shines in you, With all my strength, with all my might— Yeah… I’ll always be valiant for you [Hook] Say my name… and I’m there Through the dark… I still care I hold your light… I won’t break No matter how much I can take [Verse 2 - darker tone] This promise was made so long ago, Now I’m alone with this dying flame, Waiting… just waiting to hear you say— Say my name… say my name I only need your words of love, Just one sign and I’ll be free, From this prison of silence and doubt, From this spell that’s holding me But I got caught in the dream by the dark, Now I’m trapped in a dungeon scene, No light of day, just pain in the dark, And they’re hunting the truth I keep They wanna know who I protect, Who I carry this light for deep, So they torture me with no respect, Try to break what I won’t release [Hook] Say my name… and I’m there Through the dark… I still care I hold your light… I won’t break No matter how much I can take [Verse 3] Chains on my body, hanging me up, “Shut the hell up—tell us her name!” They say you don’t love me, you don’t even care, Try to break me with fear and pain Beat me down till I fade to black, Throw water just to wake me again, Say “your love is weak, it won’t last, It will never reach the end” But I laugh with the strength I got left, Even broken, I won’t confess, You can beat me till there’s nothing left— I’ll protect her name to my death I hold that light inside my head, Even when I’m barely alive, I won’t give in, I won’t betray, I’ll protect that love inside [Bridge] So tell me… do you still believe? Or am I fighting this alone? Do you still feel what I feel? Or has that light already gone… [Final Verse] They throw me down, spit in my face, Call me nothing, a disgrace, Laugh and say “she’ll never love you— There’s no meaning in this chase” But deep inside I know it’s true, This light we share, it won’t fade, So give me strength… just say my name, And I’ll rise… I won’t stay chained I’ll break these walls, I’ll end this dream, I’ll face the dark, I’ll take control, And with your love I’ll rise again— And finally free… my soul [Outro] Just say my name… And I’ll come back to the light…
