Lyrics
When I am knocked down
I have found
that I can't make it on my own
And when heroes fall
and I feel so small
I have no hiding place
I go to you when hope is gone
I feel so strong when I'm not alone
I lift my eyes and I find
peace of heart and peace of mind
Knowing you will never leave me behind
You are my light
You are my light
When the last tears I've cried
have fallen and dried
I'm left alone in my confusion
When my enemies are close
and I hurt the most
And I want to hide my face
And you are my hiding place
In your embrace I am home
I lift my eyes and I find
peace of heart and peace of mind
Knowing you will never leave me behind
You are my light
You are my light
