The Light I Carry

V6-WILD

[Verse 1] I write these words like I know the truth But maybe I’m just talking to myself Even when my room has no light I look at those walking home And quietly I wish May there be a light where you belong May your night be calm and warm [Verse 2] Maybe it’s a little too far for a song Some things might disappear when spoken out loud Things that happen somewhere in this town And if I see someone standing still After losing something they loved I may never know their pain completely But I can still make a wish That someday they’ll smile again [Chorus] I’m not singing To find all the answers I’m not trying To tell somebody’s story I just know this world is full of people Walking quietly beside someone else Holding those scenes inside their hearts As they keep moving on [Verse 3] I’m pretty good at being someone’s shield On days when the sky feels bright I can write the brightest words of all I’m not too young to know by now That even the things we hold so close Can someday slip away [Pre-Chorus] So for now Not the past, not the future Just this moment I’ll give it all I have And hold it close [Bridge] No matter how many times my heart may shake The sound will always carry me Even on the nights When I can’t find the words It stays right here beside me Quietly beside me [Final Chorus] And if someday The light I carry Can shine on someone else’s night That’s enough for me Just that alone Just that alone Would be a reason to sing [Outro] If my little light Can reach someone’s night That’s enough That’s enough for me And that’s my reason to sing
