Lyrics
You lived a child in darkness
And you lost your voice to call
He stole in when you slept at night
Then he took off down the hall
He crawled beneath your covers
Tried to take your dreams away
He could have broke your spirit
But look at you today
Now you're standin' in your own light
You're a hero in your own right
When life knocked you down
You wouldn't stay on the ground
Like a beacon in the dark night
Radiant and glowin' bright
I see you shinin' there
Standin' in your own light
You lived a code of silence
Until your heart broke through
Some said that you were lyin'
Some put the blame on you
They're afraid to touch you
Or look you in the eye
But they can't dim your dignity
And I know the reason why
Now you're standin' in your own light
You're a hero in your own right
When life knocked you down
You wouldn't stay on the ground
Like a beacon in the dark night
Radiant and glowin' bright
I see you shinin' there
Standin' in your own light
Now your voice is loud and clear
You share your strength to spark
Rays of hope, in hundreds more
As they come out of the dark
Now you're standin' in your own light
You're a hero in your own right
When life knocked you down
You wouldn't stay on the ground
Like a beacon in the dark night
Radiant and glowin' bright
I see you shinin' there
Standin' in your own light
I see you smilin' there
Stand in' in your own light
I see you laughin' there
Standin' in your own light
