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.

Difficulty
Difficult
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)
