From Darkness To Light

For the longest time I was in darkness
Not knowing which way was which, or where I was going
Then one day I saw something I hadn't seen in forever
I saw a faint light off in the distance, so I ran towards it
As I tried to get closer to it darkness would surround me again
But I pushed through no matter how much I got hurt
Pushing through the darkness I got hurt so many times
I wonted to give up over and over, then I would see that light and remember topush
I finally got close enough to feel from this light
But darkness came again and engulfed me
This time the darkness almost won it's battle
But some how I found the will to break free of it's chains
I used that will to finish the quick dash to the bright light
Once I got their I had a new feeling I had never felt before
Oh bright light how you wrapped me in your embrace
Made me actually feel and for the first time actually loved
I hold on with everything I have
Because you bright light are what I have been looking for
I just have to tell you something
I love you
