lyrics

in the spirit giving rise to the journey of our lives
there's a sacred place we call the inner light

our capacity for love, our ability to share
permeates the land the oceans and the air

don't you know the radiance inside you
can't you see it lights the world around you
shining forth the power to renew
the cosmos glows with everything you do

illumination, as pure as it is true
because it comes from the light within

when the shadow takes our heart, we surrender to the dark
the inner light is there, we never lose the spark

allowing us to see, to embrace the mystery
the inner light, it knows exactly where to be

face the shadow, light is always here
feel it closely, knowing it is near
within our hearts, forever holding dear
when darkness comes, we never have to fear

the soul's beauty will never disappear
it always comes from the light within
