There is a point when you can not walk away, When you have to stand up straight and tall, And mean the words you say. There is a point you must beside, Just to do it because 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 on the waste. And that darkness, covers everything inside, Until it meat a single point of light. Home it takes it's 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 see a point of light There are heroes, Whose name we never heard, a dedicated army of quiet volunteers. Reaching out to feed the hungry, reaching out to save the land, reaching out to help they'r fellow man. There are dreamers who are make this dream come true taking time to teach the children, there is nothing they can't do. Giving shelter to the homeless, giving hope to those without, is'nt that what this land all about. One by one, from the mountain to the see, point's of light, are calling out for you and me. Home it takes it's 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 see a point of light If you see what's wrong and you try to make it right You will be a point of light.
