Glee: The Music, Volume 4

Don't Be Boring

Running to the Light
Words and Music by: Brandyn Hale

Verse 1

I was hiding away while the world moved on,
Telling myself that’s where I belong.
But the silence grew heavy, the nights grew cold,
Till a light inside told me I’m not alone.

Pre-Chorus 1 

It said, “You don’t have to see the end,
Just take the first step, let the broken mend.”
The dark won’t last, it will fade to light —
Now I’m finding strength, I’m ready to fight.

Chorus

I’m running to the light,
Through the weight I’ve carried, through sleepless nights.
Every scar, every tear is a map I hold,
Pointing me somewhere I can call my own.
Yeah, I’m running to the light.

Verse 2

I’ve lost people I thought would never leave,
Prayed for light, but the dark stayed close to me.
But a flicker of hope started breaking in,
And I’m starting to feel the healing begin.

Pre-Chorus 2 

I don’t need the answers all today,
Every breath I take pulls the night away.
The dark can talk but it won’t define —
I’ve found a hope that feels like it’s mine.

Chorus 2

I’m running to the light,
Through the weight I’ve carried, through sleepless nights.
Every scar, every tear is a map I hold,
Pointing me somewhere I can call my own.
Yeah, I’m running to the light.

Bridge

All the roads, all the wrong turns,
Every loss, every tear —
They were leading me here, where the morning breaks,
Where the light gives more than the darkness takes.

Final Chorus

I’m running to the light,
Where the fear can’t reach and the day feels right.
Every scar, every tear is a map I hold,
Pointing me somewhere I can call my own.
Yeah, I’m running to the light.
