like a seedling in the clay when the sun s first golden ray marks the breaking of the day i am turning to the light i am turning to the light i am reaching toward the sun i have journeyed through the night and the battle now is won there s a new song in my heart there s a new day dawning bright oh i m turning to the light not so very long ago i lay covered by the snow with no sign of spring in sight now i m turning to the light like a robin in the spring when the dew is glistening i will raise my voice and sing i am turning to the light oh i m turning to the light
