You were the one to outrun the sun
Racin' that chariot across the sky
You were the one to sing with the sea
Playin' those waves in every key
You were the one to flower the fields
Each step they sprang up at your heels
You were the one who said, "When it's done
I've barely begun, but I have won"
You were the one to paint with the stars
Tracing each line to light the dark
You were the one to dance with the rain
You taught it to dip and drip and sway
You were the one to wake up the wind
Born of the breath you had within
And you were the one who set with the sun
But lit up the moon with all you'd done
You are the light that shines in the dark
You are the love that caught me off guard
You are the light that shines in the dark
You are the hope that beats in my heart
You are the light that shines in the dark
You are the love that caught me off guard
You are the light that shines in the dark
You are the hope that beats in my heart
