LA LUMIÈRE (Act II – Song 5) (VA)

SONG 5: THE LIGHT (The Alternative) [Intro:] [Verse 1:] I am not the thunder’s crashing sound I am the breath upon the dusty ground I do not ask you to repay a cost Just open up your eyes before you’re lost I am not an order or a command I am the warmth right here within your hand. [Chorus 1 ] I am the Light, I hold no weight at all I am the present, not tomorrow’s call I keep no score, I do not judge your stride I am just here, right by your side Leave your race, lay down your heavy load I am the calm, I am the peaceful road. [Verse 2: ] You built up walls of smoke and fear around To hide your heart and keep it safe and sound Time tells you that everything is gone I tell you, this is where you belong He promises a future paved with gold I offer you the sacred moment to hold. [Chorus 2: ] I am the Light, I hold no weight at all I am the present, not tomorrow’s call I keep no score, I do not judge your stride I am just here, right by your side Leave your race, lay down your heavy load I am the calm, I am the peaceful road. [Verse 3:] Listen to the silence in the noise That’s where I wait, that is my quiet voice Far from machines that burn and consume I am the lifting mist clearing the gloom You do not need to earn the space The simple grace just to exist in this place. [Chorus 3:] I am the Light, I hold no weight at all I am the present, not tomorrow’s call I keep no score, I do not judge your stride I am just here, right by your side Leave your race, lay down your heavy load I am the calm, I am the peaceful road. [Break:] [Verse 4: ] Time steals from you things you don't even own I shine a light on what is already known Look at your hands, look up at the sky Become essential, do not wonder why True wealth is not a distant star so far It is beneath your feet, right where you are. [Chorus 4:] I am the Light, I hold no weight at all I am the present, not tomorrow’s call I keep no score, I do not judge your stride I am just here, right by your side Leave your race, lay down your heavy load I am the calm, I am the peaceful road. [Verse 5:] You can choose to stay within the dark Or embrace this brand new vital spark I force nothing, the door is open wide Towards a life finally found inside Do not fear, the void is not cold and blue If you accept to just believe in you. [Chorus 5:] I am the Light, I hold no weight at all I am the present, not tomorrow’s call I keep no score, I do not judge your stride I am just here, right by your side Leave your race, lay down your heavy load I am the calm, I am the peaceful road. [ Refrain: ] I am the present, I am the moment true. The end of the punishment for you. I am the Light waiting for you somehow Rest yourself now (Rest yourself now) Rest yourself now (Rest yourself now) [Outro: ] [Flute solo note, Silence] ........ [End]
