The Answer

"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

Become the Light

Safe in Your Arms

You drew me a map to a paper kingdom
Said "I'm a hundred percent sure, just follow me in"
We built it in whispers, for over a year
A future on fire, forgetting the fear
I did all my homework, I fought my own wars
Finally ready to walk through that door...

But your courage was just a facade in the end
A castle you built on the air, my pretend friend
You chose your safe harbor, your comfortable sin
And left me alone with the mess I was in
You promised me mornings, but vanished by night
And turned all our colors to black and to white.

She's fighting for you with a new silhouette
Gym-toned and perfect, a desperate bet
And you're playing the prisoner, noble and sad
Taking the comfort for which you sold the mad
The passion we had, the potential, the spark
Now just a ghost in the quiet and dark.

'Cause your courage was just a facade in the end
A castle you built on the air, my pretend friend
You chose your safe harbor, your comfortable sin
And left me alone with the mess I was in
You promised me mornings, but vanished by night
And turned all our colors to black and to white.

And now a good man waits for me, he knows the truth and still he stays
But my heart's a battlefield, it's stuck in a different phase
Do I stay for the loyalty, a half-life, a debt to pay?
Or do I walk through the pain and find my own damn way?
This isn't love, it's just a choice made from guilt and fear...
The only way out is through these tears.

And MY courage will not be a facade in the end
I'll tear down that castle, my own heart I'll mend
I'll leave your safe harbor, your comfortable sin
I'll face the wide ocean and boldly dive in
I'll trade your false mornings for my own honest light
And I'll paint my whole world in colors so bright.

I deserved more than an option...
I was a promise you broke.
I'm taking my heart back now...
With every single breath I choke.
I'm letting go... letting go...
Finally learning to fly alone.

Beautiful
