stay in the light

Verse 1 Turn off the noise in the background hum All that shouting at everyone Close the door on the breaking news You don’t have to let it choose you Step outside where the morning breathes Feel the sun on the maple leaves There’s a truth that’s quiet and bright Waiting just beyond the fight Pre-Chorus You don’t have to carry the weight of the world On your tender shoulders tonight Chorus Stay in the light Stay where your heart feels open and wide Don’t read the headlines before you pray Don’t let the fear steal your faith away Stay in the light Let love be louder than all the noise Hold on to hope like a steady flame The world may shout but you don’t have to play Stay in the light Verse 2 Put your phone down, look in my eyes See the blue of the open sky There’s a kindness still alive In every stranger passing by Plant your feet in the simple things Coffee cups and wedding rings Laughter drifting through the air Mercy showing up everywhere Pre-Chorus You don’t have to drink from a bitter cup When there’s living water inside Chorus Stay in the light Stay where your heart feels open and wide Don’t read the headlines before you pray Don’t let the fear steal your faith away Stay in the light Let love be louder than all the noise Hold on to hope like a steady flame The world may spin but you can choose your place Stay in the light Bridge Shine it in the small unseen In the way you speak, in the way you lean It starts in you, it starts in me A quiet revolution gently No more feeding what divides No more standing on the sidelines We rise by lifting someone else That’s how the light reveals itself Final Chorus (Lift) Stay in the light Even when shadows pass you by Keep your face toward the morning sun That’s how the healing work is done Stay in the light Love is stronger than all the noise Hope is a seed that grows with time Guard your heart, protect your mind Stay in the light Outro (soft) Turn down the noise Lift up your eyes Stay in the light
