There’s a light that burns within you that illuminates your soul They say its always been there Steady bright and in control It’s the guiding spirit that drives you As you live your life each day Shining a light on the darkest paths As you walk along the way It’s the light outside the shadows A lonely life can cast But if you look to feel it The darkness will not last There’s a light of love within you That illuminates your face a gentle warmth that surrounds you When your heart is in that place The brightness of the spirit And all the love you share Embracing it with a passion Nurturing it with care Within the light is life’s meaning Things close to the heart believed A summation of your life time And all things you perceived Live the life within you Let the light shine through Sharing it with others embraced by love so true the light that burns within you the warmth of life’s desire let it shine on brightly true keeper of the fire William Lindenmuth - The Light Within
