about
In this world of excess media, hypnotic advertising, and other unhealthy things that try to tell us what we should think about ourselves, I couldn't help but notice we are hardly ever told how "powerful" we really are! I wondered why. So this song was written in an effort to do just that. It will be on my up-coming CD entitled, "Souls Of Love", projected for release in Fall 2015, but this "single" digital download is now available for all of you "shining lights" out there.
With Love,
Jeannie Willets

lyrics
"YOU ARE THE LIGHT"
music & lyrics by, Jeannie Willets
You say you're down now
And that you're feeling blue,
You want to change that
But you don't know what to do
Once you flew so high,
Now you're on the ground,
You want to find that
Route back up above the clouds
A candle was lit
So very long ago
The fire's burning still,
If you want it so, for
You are the light that shines
In the darkest night,
You are the light that shines,
Glowing from deep inside you,
As bright as you want to
You're faith is fading,
You say it don't look good,
But you would turn that
Frown upside down, if you could,
Once you stood so tall,
You couldn't see your feet,
You vowed you'd never
Let your dreams accept defeat
Well, a candle was lit
So very long ago,
The fire's burning still,
If you want it so, for
You are the light that shines
In the darkest night,
You are the light that shines,
Glowing from deep inside you,
As bright as you want to
You know the darkness
Can't make you feel afraid anymore, cause...
You are the light that shines
In the darkest night,
You are the light that shines,
Glowing from deep inside you,
As bright as you want to
You are the light that shines,
You...are the light that shines.
