The Light Still Shines

Morning breaks on an old dirt road, Coffee steams where the cool winds blow. A stranger stops with a gentle smile, Helps an old friend the last few miles. No headlines tell what the morning knew, Just quiet hearts doing what hearts do. The light still shines, Though the clouds may hide the sky. The light still shines, Like the sun that always rises high. In the little things we do, Hope is living every day. The light still shines, Showing everyone the way. Little hands scatter seeds for birds, Never asking for a single word. Someone plants a young green tree, For children they may never see. Every smile, every helping hand, Builds tomorrow across this land. (Chorus) After tears and the hardest years, People still calm another's fears. A candle passed from hand to hand, Can light a thousand through the land. Love grows quiet, it don't pretend, One small kindness never ends. One spark becomes another flame, Different faces, the heart's the same. Side by side we'll always find, The brightest light lives in mankind. Final Chorus The light still shines, Brighter than the darkest night. The light still shines, One small heart can start the light. Every kindness that we share, Leaves tomorrow burning bright. The light still shines... And together we keep it alive.
