[Verse 1] I thought it had left me, that shimmer, that spark, A whisper of summer that faded to dark, The voice in the branches, the glow in the night, A river of wonder that slipped out of sight. [Pre-Chorus] But magic was waiting, not gone, only still, A hush by the doorway, a breath on the hill, It rested like morning beneath fallen leaves, A song in the roots of the old willow trees. [Chorus] The old light within me The flame I once knew The old light within me Was shining me through (Shining me through) [Verse 2] Now I call it back gently, with wonder, not fear, I listen for echoes that always were near, The old light within me, the flame I once knew, Was never a stranger, it was shining me through. [Pre-Chorus] So I walk with the sunrise, I follow the breeze, I gather the gold from the branches and trees, The spark that I searched for was never apart, It lived in the quiet, deep down in my heart. [Chorus] The old light within me The flame I once knew The old light within me Was shining me through (Shining me through) [Bridge] And if shadows surround me, I’ll sing to the sky, For magic remembers the reasons we try, A soft little ember, a bright guiding friend, The light that was waiting was here from the end. [Breakdown] [Final Chorus] The old light within me The flame I once knew The old light within me Was shining me through The old light within me Still leading me home (Shining me through) (Still leading me home)
