Shine The Light
Sugarland Lyrics

When you walk into the edge of those dark and lonely woods
When you find yourself in a difficult situation that feels isolating and lonely

And when I ask "How was your day?"
And when I reach out to check on you

You answer "Not so good"
You express that things are not going well

And when nothing seems to be working out quite the way it should
And when everything seems to be going wrong

I will shine the light
I will be there to support you and provide comfort

When the skies up above you fill with gray and stormy clouds
When you are experiencing a period of darkness and uncertainty

And there's not a single face you know in the maddening crowd
And you feel alone and like no one understands

When you know that you will make your way, but you just can't see how
When you have hope for the future, but feel lost in the present

I will shine the light
I will provide hope and support to help you find your way

I will hold you in my arms until everything's alright
I will be there to provide you with love and comfort until you feel better

When your worries, they won't let you sleep and rob you of your days
When you are anxious and stressed, and it has a negative impact on your life

And you've looked in all directions but you still can't find your way
When you have tried all the solutions you can think of, but still feel lost

Or when you just need someone to remind you that it's all gonna be okay
Or when you need reassurance and hope for the future

When you're staring down your demons waiting in your darkest night
When you are facing your biggest challenges and fears

Sometimes we jump into the great unknown
We take risks and venture into uncharted territory

Some roads we're on, we'll have to walk alone
Some parts of our journey we will have to face alone

But waiting there in the end is a heart that calls you a friend
But at the end of the day, there will be people who care about you and are there for you

That's me.
I want to be there for you as a friend

Clapping the loudest, welcoming you home
I will be the one cheering you on and welcoming you back when you return

So when your heart is heavy like a stone
When you are feeling weighed down by heavy emotions

From carrying it's load
From carrying the burden that life has placed on you

And you look into the mirror and see someone you don't know
When you feel disconnected from yourself and your identity

Or when the shadows are closing in on you like a hand around your throat
Or when you feel overwhelmed and trapped by darkness and fear

When you've given into your fear
When fear has taken over and you've given in to its power

When you've lost your will to fight
When you feel like you can no longer handle the situation and have lost motivation to keep going

Let me know that I can do
Reach out to me and let me help you

Let me try to make it right
Let me do what I can to help you feel better and find a solution

And I will shine the light
I will be there to provide hope and support when you need it most
