Into the Light Verse 1 I climbed the mountain made of stone, With bleeding hands and bones of gold, The sky was black, the wind was cold, And every dream I had was sold. The ravens circled overhead, Like little prophets of the dead, The road was paved with broken names, And every step became a flame. Pre-Chorus I cursed the stars, I cursed the rain, I wore the darkness like a chain. But somewhere underneath the scars, A little fire still remembered who we are. Chorus So I climbed, though the mountain wouldn’t end, Through the night, through the fire, through the wind. Every shadow tried to pull me below, Every river said, Let go. But the darkness couldn’t swallow me whole, There was something burning inside my soul. And when I finally had nothing left to fight— I stopped running… And I opened to the light. Verse 2 I saw my life in shattered glass, A thousand futures that had passed. The moon hung pale above the trees, Like a ghost that whispered, Be free. The wolves were howling in the valley, The old gods trembling in the rain, I carried every loss behind me, Like iron shackles made of pain. I thought the summit meant surviving, Thought strength meant never falling down. But the mountain had another answer— Sometimes surrender is how you turn around. Chorus So I climbed, though the mountain wouldn’t end, Through the night, through the fire, through the wind. Every shadow tried to pull me below, Every river said, Let go. But the darkness couldn’t swallow me whole, There was something burning inside my soul. And when I finally had nothing left to fight— I stopped running… And I opened to the light. Bridge Then the clouds broke open like a door, And the sun poured gold across the floor. The trees were green, the rivers sang, And morning touched everything. I saw the scars upon my hands, Not as chains, but as maps of where I’d been. Every tear became a river, Every wound became a window. And I understood— The mountain wasn’t there to conquer. It was there to teach me how to see. Final Chorus Now I rise, but I don’t have to fight, I don’t need to conquer the night. I can breathe, I can finally let go, I can follow where the wild winds blow. All the shadows that followed me home Were only proof I was never alone. And the darkness that once stole my sight Was only waiting… To reveal the light. Outro So let the sun come through the cracks, Let it find the places I held back. Let it burn away the fear, Let me feel that I am here. No more running. No more war. No more asking what life is for. I climbed through darkness Until darkness became dawn— And now I give myself To the brightness… In its full glory.
