This Is Cassius

Writing in 2017, a soulful spoken-word anthem turned song — blending prayer and protest. It channels pain, faith, and cultural resilience, transforming a cry to God into a powerful call for awakening, unity, and self-empowerment. This song is part of Ghost in Rehab poetry collection.

“The Light Within” is a soulful jazz and blues ballad that celebrates love as a sacred, healing force — a light that guides, protects, and transforms. The song describes love not as fleeting passion, but as an inner flame that gives meaning and strength in times of pain, doubt, and loneliness. Through its heartfelt verses and gospel-infused choir sections, it portrays love as both deeply human and divinely inspired. The singer speaks of redemption through compassion and the courage to trust again, finding faith in connection and grace. The recurring phrase “the light within” symbolizes the enduring spirit of love that shines in every soul, offering hope, peace, and unity even in darkness. Musically, it blends warm piano, brass, and gospel harmonies, rising from quiet reflection to emotional uplift — a timeless message that love’s light can conquer all fear and sorrow.

THE LIGHT WITHIN

Mmm… love’s a candle in the dark night,
Shinin’ through the rain, holdin’ me tight.
A whisper turns to thunder,
When hearts believe in wonder… ohh.

You touched my soul like a holy flame,
Turned my sorrow into a name.
I was fallin’ down, you pulled me high,
Gave my heart wings so it could fly.
No riches, no gold, no diamond chain,
Can heal the soul or ease the pain.

Your love’s a prayer in a broken town,
A shelter that won’t let me drown.
Through fire and storm, I found my grace,
When I saw the light in your face.
You taught me how to stand again,
To trust the voice beneath the rain.

(Ooooh, lift me higher)
(Ooooh, set me free)
Love’s not just desire —
It’s the truth inside of me.

The light within, the light of love,
It’s the hand of heaven, sent from above.
It breaks the chains, it calms the fear,
It wipes away every tear.
(Oh, hallelujah!)
The light within, the light of love.

I’ve walked through nights of doubt and shame,
But love still called my name.
It’s not in words, it’s not in gold,
It’s the fire that never grows old.
You gave me peace I can’t explain,
Turned my loss into sweet refrain.

Love is mercy, love is grace,
It’s the light in every face.
Let it heal the scars we bear,
Let it breathe through every prayer.

The light of love, the strength of the soul,
The fire that makes the broken whole.
Oh, let it rise, let it stay,
Guide our hearts along the way.

(Oooh, love will save you, love will save you…)

Love’s my compass, my open door,
(We walk together forevermore.)
When the world turns cold, I won’t despair,
(The light of love is always there.)
So let the light keep shinin’ true,
(Love begins and ends with you.)

The light within, the light of love,
A gift of grace we’re all made of.
It breaks the chains, it lifts the soul,
It’s the only truth that makes us whole.
(Yeahhh—hallelujah!)
The light within, the light of love.

Mmm… love’s a candle in the dark night,
Keep it burnin’ through the fight.
The light within…
The light of love.
