I read it wrong. I thought Helen said Light, not Lights.
But I still like the first song that came to mind. It’s a great personal power song!
As is apparently often the case with my song choices…PUMP UP YOUR VOLUME!

The Light
Like an unsung melody
The truth is waiting there for you to find it
It’s not a blight, but a remedy
A clear reminder of how it began
Deep inside your memory
Turned away as you struggled to find it
You heard the call as you walked away
A voice of calm from within the silence
And for what seemed an eternity
You’re waiting, hoping it would call out again
You heard the shadow reckoning
Then your fears seemed to keep you blinded
You held your guard as you walked away
The truth is waiting there for you to find it
It’s not a blight, but a remedy
A clear reminder of how it began
Deep inside your memory
Turned away as you struggled to find it
You heard the call as you walked away
A voice of calm from within the silence
And for what seemed an eternity
You’re waiting, hoping it would call out again
You heard the shadow reckoning
Then your fears seemed to keep you blinded
You held your guard as you walked away
When you think all is forsaken
Listen to me now (all is not forsaken)
You need never feel broken again
Sometimes darkness can show you the light
Listen to me now (all is not forsaken)
You need never feel broken again
Sometimes darkness can show you the light
An unforgivable tragedy
The answer isn’t’ where you think you’d find it
Prepare yourself for the reckoning
For when your world seems to crumble again
Don’t be afraid, don’t turn away
You’re the one who can redefine it
Don’t let hope become a memory
Let the shadow permeate your mind and
Reveal the thoughts that were tucked away
So that the door can be opened again
Within your darkest memories
Lies the answer if you dare to find it
Don’t let hope become a memory
The answer isn’t’ where you think you’d find it
Prepare yourself for the reckoning
For when your world seems to crumble again
Don’t be afraid, don’t turn away
You’re the one who can redefine it
Don’t let hope become a memory
Let the shadow permeate your mind and
Reveal the thoughts that were tucked away
So that the door can be opened again
Within your darkest memories
Lies the answer if you dare to find it
Don’t let hope become a memory
When you think all is forsaken
Listen to me now (all is not forsaken)
You need never feel broken again
Sometimes darkness can show you the light, beautiful
Listen to me now (all is not forsaken)
You need never feel broken again
Sometimes darkness can show you the light, beautiful
Sickening, weakening
Don’t let another somber pariah consume your soul
You need strengthening, toughening
It takes an inner dark to rekindle the fire burning in you
Ignite the fire within you
Don’t let another somber pariah consume your soul
You need strengthening, toughening
It takes an inner dark to rekindle the fire burning in you
Ignite the fire within you
When you think all is forsaken
Listen to me now (all is not forsaken)
You need never feel broken again
Sometimes darkness can show you the light
Listen to me now (all is not forsaken)
You need never feel broken again
Sometimes darkness can show you the light
Don’t ignore, listen to me now (all is not forsaken)
You need never feel broken again
Sometimes darkness
Can show you the light
You need never feel broken again
Sometimes darkness
Can show you the light

I read lights as light too. Nice choice
Great song – love the message…and I’m REALLY loving the video! Thanks for the introduction! 💯💯
You might really like his version of Sounds of Silence! Great singer. Thanks for visiting!
This song has become my theme song. Great pick!
Thanks. Me too. Glad you stopped by.
Shall we call it a Power Ballad? Cheers,H
Yes I love that!
I’m crying… This is my new anthem… it’s literally my life. I don’t know how, but I never lost hope and I feel that all the darkness I’ve seen has shown me the light. Sheesh. Thanks for the therapy session. Haha. Best song I’ve heard in a long time! <3
Oh Helen. I’m so glad. I’ve always loved this song and use it in women’s groups all the time. Thanks so much for telling me!
I’m nothing if not open. Probably to a fault! 😏 This is a powerful song and I imagine it helps them tremendously! ❤️
Definitely. Played it for a dear friend once at her husband’s memorial and all her women friends got up one at a time and formed a circle around her. Gives me goose bumps remembering that.
I can only imagine. Thanks again for the song and for all your supportive words!
Absolutely. You’re one of my favorites!
Awwww, thank you!
