Point Of Light
Written by - Don Schlitz & Thom Schuyler
From - High Lonesome
There's a point when you cannot walk away
There's a darkness that everyone must face
There are heroes whose names we never hear
When you have to stand up straight and tall
And mean the words you say

It wants to take what's good and fair
And lay it all to waste
A dedicated army of quiet volunteers
There's a point you must decide
Just to do it 'cause it's right
And that darkness covers everything in sight

Reaching out to feed the hungry
Reaching out to save the land
That's when you become a point of light
Until it meets a single point of light
Reaching out to their fellow men

All it takes is 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 be a point of light

There are dreamers who
Are making dreams come true
Taking time to teach the children
There's nothing they can't do
Giving shelter to the homeless
Giving hope to those without
Isn't that what this land's all about

One by one from the mountains to the sea
Points of light are calling out to you and me
All it takes is 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 be a point of light
