Friend, your kindness will make you suffer
It’s a light that shines bright
Attracting the cold
Attracting the weary
Attracting the bereft of spirit
Attracting the lovers of darkness
They will see it and flock
They will try to take it away from you
They will try to plug into themselves
They will try to cover it
They will try to turn it out
Only you can turn it off
Only you can turn it down
Friend , once you have cried
And wrenched over the pain they have caused
Turn it up
Crank it up
It will blind the bound ones
It will free the free ones
It will enlighten the bright ones
They will see you
You will see them
And turn theirs up too
You will create together
Friend , they can’t take the torch away
you don’t possess the light
You are the light
Let it shine
