When you’re blinded by the light
you never see the stars
waiting there for you
I could only see
the pieces of the world
That you lit up for me
Until I found the strength
to leave your blazing light-
To step into the dark
And wrestle down my fear
Of what I couldn’t see
Taking in a breathe
to anchor my resolve
Then I looked up…
A hundred million stars
were staring back at me
A whirling universe
You never let me see
Blinded by your light
Kept firmly in your sight
I never would have known
What waited here for me
I looked up-
A hundred million stars
Were staring back at me
Endless possibility
You never let me see
Blinded by your light
Til I stepped into the dark
And I looked up.
