The dark was all there was before
He said, Let there be light
And there I was, alone, afraid
As I brightened up the night

I saw the world in monochrome
And slowly lit the day
And I was Light, the luminance
But all I saw was grey

I knew I had a purpose but what kind I didn't know
I always knew I'd one day let my true colours show
The shades of grey and darkness used to dim my brightest hue
I used to shine alone until the day that I met you

I used to think I wasn't there
'Cause in the dark I'm gone
All green and blue and crimson hues
Are black before the dawn

And so I met depression
And it wouldn't let me go
Until I found the light
And I discovered how to glow

All my life I've been alone
But deep down I've always known
That somewhere out there someone
Was created just for me

And with patience I believed
With my red heart on my silver sleeve
But now the light is here and I can see
