Surrounded... lyrics

(Marilyn Gale)

I am surrounded, surrounded by the light
I see it all around me, it’s shining oh so bright
I find myself in awe and I really wonder
What it is that I just saw, what is the spell that I am under?
I’ve been surrounded by the darkness all alone.
It feels so familiar; I’ve called it my home.
And it’s a good place to hide; I think no one can see me.
It’s here I’ve often cried; feeling trapped I cannot get free.
Off in the distance I see a ray of light.
I’m drawn into that presence, but I’m stopped by my fright.
Yet I begin to see around me are others;
It’s not all about me, I have sisters and brothers.
Now I see my dim reflection rising out of the mist.
My heart swells, needs no protection; by the light of love I am kissed.
And I know it isn’t new, I’ve just become aware.
It shines for me and you; all at once it’s everywhere.
It shines beyond the shadows with a gentle healing touch.
Into each heart it flows, it shows the best in all of us.
It’s constant and it’s clear, like a beacon in the night.
It can release fear, and has the power to unite.
We are surrounded, surrounded by the light.
It shines inside and outside, yes it’s shining oh so bright.
Should we all embrace this wondrous light from above
The whole human race could know this one love.
