lyrics

What kind of light will I be?
Is it still living in me?
I gotta leave while I can, I hope you will understand,
I gotta find what kind of light I will be.

Now I've become sunken and stale,
But I'm taught that the light will prevail.
I believe it's the truth, and I'll be living proof.
i gotta find what kind of light I will be.

'Cause we all have a light we too often ignore,
Sometimes we forget that it's there.
But it grows big and bright on those rare, secret nights
When we let ourselves whisper, "I care."

There's a sparrow who waits 'cross the sea,
And he's pointing his beacon at me.
Is this it? i don't know. I won't know 'til I go.
I gotta find what kind of light i will be.
