about

A song about confronting your shadow and growing through the pain of it. Life can be hard as nails, but if you keep going you never know what beautiful things you may find!

lyrics

I have known pain, deep sorrow, and shame
Joy and beauty most fair
Even courted despair
Been guided by angels, and taunted by demons
Seen souls swept away at great cost
What have I learned?
And what have I lost?
And what do I leave behind?

You don't always have to slay the dragon
But you gotta look it in the eye
Every light will cast it's shadow
For every day there is a night

You've been mostly absent
Been demanding my love and respect
You helped in the breaking me
But can't help in fixing me
Now it's all left up to me and the Lord

What have you learned?
And what have you lost?
And what do you leave behind?

You don't always have to slay the dragon
But you gotta look it in the eye
Every light will cast a shadow
For every day there is a night
Turn on the light...
