lyrics

i saw the light
i made it shine
and i wonder if you feel with a heart like mine

through the darkest clouds
our ignorance resounds
and miss the beauty in a world that truly astounds

i can see there’s an ocean of pain
a collective shame
i did nothing to erase
we can hear a deafening cry
a culture that stood by
and did practically nothing

i saw the light

i saw the light
i made it shine
and I wonder if you feel with a heart like mine

i can see there’s an ocean of pain
a collective shame
i did nothing to erase
we can hear a deafening cry
a culture that stood by
and did practically nothing

i still feel with a heart
no matter how much pain affects it
i still feel with a heart
a heart with the best intentions

i saw the light
i made it shine
and i wonder if you feel with a heart like mine

i can see there’s an ocean of pain
a collective shame
i did nothing to erase
we can hear a deafening cry
a culture that stood by
and did practically nothing

i can see there’s a promise to make
a decision to take a stand
and not just sit by
we can lend a hand to the weak
pull them up on their feet
no one else should be victimized

i saw the light
i made it shine
and I wonder if you feel anything at all
