You Will Be the Light

You'll never be the sun
Turning in the sky
And you won't be the moon above us
On the moonlit night
And you won't be the stars in heaven
Although you burn so bright
But even on the deepest ocean
You will be the light

You may not always shine as you go
There before the storm
You might be so long together
Or you might walk alone
And you won't find that love comes easy
But that love is always right
So even when the dark cloud covers
You will be the light

And if you lose a part inside
When love turns round on you
Leaving the part behind
And knowing you'll do
What you have to do
Holding you blind
Keeping you true

You'll never be the sun
Turning in the sky
And you won't be the moon above us
On the moonlit night
And you won't be the stars in heaven
Although you burn so bright
But even in the heart of darkness
You will be the light
