Light Through the Wound

By Julie O'Hara - Author, Poet and Spiritual WarriorPublished 3 months ago 2 min read

Verse 1

I’ve walked through shadows, felt the weight of my heart,

Every scar tells a story, where the healing starts.

In the quiet moments, when the pain feels true,

I’ve found a little sunshine in the cracks that break through.

Pre-Chorus

Each tear that I’ve shed, every battle I’ve fought,

Has carved out a space where the light can be caught.

So I’ll wear my wounds like a badge on my chest,

For in every fracture, there’s a chance to be blessed.

Chorus

The wound is the place where the light enters you,

In the depths of the darkness, it shines bright and true.

Let it fill up the spaces where hurt used to dwell,

With every bit of healing, it’s the story I’ll tell.

Verse 2

I’ve danced with my fears, let the shadows run wild,

But inside the chaos, I found hope reconciled.

In the cracks and the crevices, the light breaks free,

With every bit of courage, I’m becoming me.

Pre-Chorus

So don’t hide the scars; let them show in the glow,

For each little wound teaches us how to grow.

I’ll embrace the journey, let the journey be kind,

For in every heartache, there's a treasure to find.

Chorus

The wound is the place where the light enters you,

In the depths of the darkness, it shines bright and true.

Let it fill up the spaces where hurt used to dwell,

With every bit of healing, it’s the story I’ll tell.

Bridge

Let the light pour in, let it warm up the ache,

From the ashes of sorrow, new beginnings we make.

In the dance of the shadows, we’ll learn to be free,

The light through the wound is the way to believe.

Verse 3

So here’s to the battles, the struggles we bear,

For every little moment, I’m choosing to care.

With the light ever shining, there’s no need to fear,

In the heart of the wound, love is always near.

Chorus

The wound is the place where the light enters you,

In the depths of the darkness, it shines bright and true.

Let it fill up the spaces where hurt used to dwell,

With every bit of healing, it’s the story I’ll tell.

Outro

So let’s embrace the journey, and dance in the rain,

For the light through the wounds will always remain.

In the story of living, here’s a truth to hold tight,

Every scar is a testament; it leads to the light.
