Toward the Light
This ballad is an emotional exploration of the reasons why a person is hesitant to leave dark emotions of the past behind. Haunting and lyrical, it features a short a cappella section before an alto soloist feature. The song meanders along a path of self discovery until reaching a final climactic moment of truth.

I've stayed in the shadows, away from the sun I've tried to emerge from my shell But it's easier said than done Something stops me every time Something holds me back Will I ever find the courage that I lack? If I take a step toward the light Away from the grasp of this endless night Will my heart survive If the pain I buried long ago is revived? I won't be able to hide anymore If I move forward And take a step toward the light For now I'll keep watching, waiting Praying to God for a sign That I'm finally ready Ready to grow Ready to know if I'm strong enough To face the demons Keeping me here in the dark Could I reignite my spark? Could I let go of this facade? If I take a step... If I take a step... If I move into the light Will my heart survive If the pain burns me alive? I can't run from the truth anymore There's a life I've been longing for All I have to do is take a step toward... Toward the light (If I take a step) Toward the light (If I take a step)
