I take a breath
Try and slow down my heart
From pounding into my head
No breath is deep enough
Long enough, take shallow ones instead
Sum up the courage
To step into the light
Shines bright like you
The warmth, the glow
Is the warmth of your smile
A tender embrace
Feels real for a while
Numbed by the pain
Overcome by the joy
Singing with purpose
And reason I try to employ
My finger tingle
They're all slightly numb
I concentrate, concentrate, concentrate
Biting the tip of my thumb
So I know it's real
And I step into the light
With you by my side
Into the light
Ooooh
It's warm in the light
It's so bright here in the light
Want to collapse
And fall to the ground
Open my mouth
Somehow the right sounds
Spill out, pour out
And I tear my heart out
Should be out of tears
But somehow I'm not
Thrilled by the need to make you proud
God I hope you're proud
For stepping into the light
With you by my side
Here in the light
Oooh
It's warm in the light
Shines bright here in the light
I step into the light
Now I've found it
I hold on tight
I take a breath
