Songwriters: Schlitz; Schuyler;There is a point when you cannot walk away  When you have to stand up straight and tall and mean the word you say  There is a point you must decide, just to do it 'cause it's right  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 a single point of light    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 heroes, whose names we never hear  A dedicated army of 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 to teach the children, there's 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 are 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 you 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      © BMG SONGS, INC.;    these lyrics are last corrected by Helen Solomon
