LET THE LIGHT TAKE ME IN

[Verse 1]
Hope once sparked, now flickers low, 
Footsteps fade through falling snow. 
Love was red, now ghostly white,
Lost in silence, chasing light.

[Pre-Chorus]
Fought the fight and let it go,
Still I feel the embers glow.

[Chorus]
When the broken rise, I will stand again,
Let the fire fall, let it cleanse the end.
If the sky should burn, let my soul begin—
Far away, let the light take me in. 

[Verse 2]
Tears once fell like summer rain,
Now they trace through softer pain.
The tide is calling, calm and wide,
I walk the edge of the great divide.

[Pre-Chorus]
One last breath, a sacred vow,
Heaven, can You hear me now

[Chorus]
When the broken rise, I will stand again,
Let the fire fall, let it cleanse the end.
If the sky should burn, let my soul begin—
Far away, let the light take me in. 

[Bridge]
Let the weight fall from my chest,
I’ve carried more, I’ve done my best.
No fear now, just the wind and flame,
I’m not lost—just changed my name.

[Final Chorus]
When the broken rise, I’ll rise with them,
From the ashes, I’ll breathe again.
Let the night break into dawn’s soft grin—
Far away, let the light take me in. 

[Outro]
Far away… far away…?
Let the light take me in.
