"Point of Light" Lyrics

(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...
