You were the light in the darkness   That I lived in full of redemption and sin   Even though I was surrounded by the best of friends   My future was looking dim      You gave me hope in a time when I lost control   About to lose my soul   You picked me up from the gutters that I once roamed   Helped my see what I now know      When I thought there was no one there for me   Your light shined on me   You gave me hope, you gave me all I need   You set me free      When I fought against myself, to be as good as I can be   You gave me strength, you gave me what I need   You're everything to me      In the darkest of days you came into my life   It was full of so much strife   Self-destruction was the name of the game that I played   You reinforced the values that I had lost at no price or cost      And even when I slipped into the darkness again   You fought to bring me back in      I hope you know what you mean to me   You mean everything, everything   I hope you know that I'd do anything for you   I mean anything      You made a man out of me when I thought I knew it all   I knew nothing   You brought me hope in my darkest days   I love you more than anything      When I thought there was no one there for me   Your light shined on me   You gave me hope, you gave me all I need   You set me free      When I fought against myself to be as good as I could be   You gave me strength you gave me what I need   You're always there for me
