Point of Light

(Don Schlitz - Thom Schuyler)



There is a point when you cannot walk away

When you have to stand up straight and tall

And mean the words you say

There's a point you must decide just to do it cause it's right

And that's when you become a point of light.



There is a darkness that everyone must face

It wants to take what's good and fair and lay it all to waste

And that darkness covers everything in sight

Until it meets is a single point of light.



Chrous:

All it takes is a point of light

A ray of hope in the darkest night

If you see what's wrong and you try to make it right

You will be a point of light.



There are heros whose names we never hear

Our dedicated army, our quiet volunteers

Reaching out to feed the hungry, reaching out to save the land

Reaching out to help their fellow man.



There are dreamers who are making dreams come true

Taking time to teach the children, there is nothing they can't do

Giving shelter to the homeless, giving hope to those without.

Isn't that what this land's all about?



One by one from the mountains to the sea

Points of light calling out to you and me



All it takes is a point of light

A ray of hope in the darkest night

If you see what's wrong and try to make it right

You will be a point of light.



If you see what's wrong and you try to make it right

You will be a point of light...
