Lyrics

There is a point when you cannot walk away
When you have to stand up straight and tall and mean the word you say
There is a point you must decide just to do it 'cause 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 all to waste
And that darkness covers everything in sight
Until it meets a single point of light

(Refrain)

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 heroes whose names we never hear
A dedicated army of quiet volunteers
Reaching out to feed the hungry
Reaching out to save the land
Reaching out to help their fellow man

(Music up one half step)

There are dreamers who are making dreams come true
Taking time to 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?

(Bridge)

One by one, from the mountains to the sea
Points of light are calling out to you and me

(Refrain)

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

(Repeat last two lines)

If you see what's wrong and you try and make it right
You will be a point of light
