Eternal Return - JohnE

"Become the Light" is a slow, intimate-to-anthemic pop ballad that moves from quiet reflection to triumphant resolve. The lyrics trace a journey from longing and hidden fear to courageous self-actualization, urging the listener to stop merely dreaming and to embody their truth. Emotional, confessional verses build through steady pre-choruses into a soaring, hopeful chorus and a final, resolute affirmation.

Lyrics

Intro  
breathy hum

Verse 1  
I held a thousand mirrors to my face  
Borrowed stars to trace a lover’s shape  
Whispered dreams behind a steady sigh  
Waiting for the world to tell me why

Pre-Chorus  
There’s a drum beneath the hush  
A small rebellion in my blood  
When the night unties its crown  
I will rise where echoes drown

Chorus  
Don’t just dream it — be the light  
Turn the ache into a promise tonight  
Let the hidden fire teach you how to burn bright  
Don’t just wish it — be the light

Verse 2  
Salt and honey on a foreign tongue  
Old fears fall where new songs are sung  
I stitched my shadow with gold-thread seams  
Now I walk the seam of what it means

Pre-Chorus (variation)  
There’s a tide that calls my name  
Pulling soft the seams of shame  
If desire is the only map I’ve known  
Then I’ll follow till I find my home

Chorus  
Don’t just dream it — be the light  
Turn the ache into a promise tonight  
Let the hidden fire teach you how to burn bright  
Don’t just wish it — be the light

Bridge  
Close your eyes and feel the sky — no more waiting for the rain  
I’m the hymn you kept inside, I’m the siren of the brave

Verse 3  
I learned to carry sunrise in my hands  
Found the language where the silent stands  
Every broken map becomes a road I know  
I bring the heat so the cold can go

Final Chorus (slow, anthemic)  
Don’t just dream it — be the light  
Stand unmasked beneath the fracture of the night  
Let the world remember who you are by the flame you ignite  
Don’t just wish it — be the light
