Verse 1

Like igniting fire in every cell of my bodyI breathe in air with all my mightWith blood and sweat as offerings, I turn my dreams into sacred flameScream at maximum volume

Pre-Chorus

Let there be lightAs a signal to prayers for the future, I strike the starting line

Chorus

Let there be lightGo, use the darkness as your runwayRun your own path with reverenceLet there be lightToward despair just inches aheadBelieve in glory two inches beyondLet there be lightThere's only one reason to kick off the groundI can fly even more brilliantlyLet there be lightYour radiance todayIlluminates tomorrow for your lost friends

Post-Chorus

Dreams carried like a crossFor warriors marching toward Eden

Verse 2

Against towering walls, against monsters that devour hopeIt's courage to believe in possibilityEven the slightest chance, the bravery to trust it throughScream at maximum volume

Bridge

Let there be light, go, match your footsteps with your shadowMay fortune be with you in days of fighting yourselfWithout distortion, without bending, keep chasing your idealsLet's call that resolve "light"

Chorus

Let there be lightGo, use the darkness as your runwayRun your own path with reverenceLet there be lightToward despair just inches aheadBelieve in glory two inches beyond(Let there be light) The shooting star soaring through the sky tonight(Let there be light) Burns with life as its catalystLet there be lightYour radiance todayIlluminates tomorrow for your lost friends

Post-Chorus

As a signal to prayers for the future, I strike the starting lineCarrying infinite dreams like a crossLet there be light for warriors marching toward Eden
