The Light

Backstory

We are on a rock hurtling through space, orbiting around a star at the perfect distance, with perfect conditions to support life. No matter our beliefs about a divine being, or higher power, this is a miracle.

When we tip our heads back and look at the stars, the celestial body where that light originated has long since moved. But the particles of light keep traveling on and on for ages upon ages until they reach us here on earth and we observe them. The Light goes on and on forever. It never dies.
“The stars have all moved by the time their light reaches me and you. Their light keeps carrying on and on…endlessly.”

There is always a light. Even in the darkest nights. Even when we feel most alone. And sometimes that beacon comes from another person.

Lyrics

Darling, I found hope
Or hope found me
And I held on tight like the kite holds to a string
In the blackest skies
Shine bright those stars
How beautiful they are
Diamonds in the dark

I know there's a calling in the wind
I know there's a darkness I've been in
I know you've been calling out for me
I know there's a light I can't yet see

Darling, I found you
Or you found me
And we held on tight
Like the kite holds to a string
A million worlds
Cross endless years of light
But somehow, you and me
Together here tonight

Strings of light, streams of light
Signs of life, signs of life
The stars have all moved by the time their light reaches me and you
Their light keeps carrying on and on endlessly

I know there's a calling in the wind
I know there's a darkness I've been in
I know you've been calling out for me
I know there's a light I can't yet see
