Dare to Be The Light

[Verse 1] 
When the winter winds are blowing
And the nights are growing long
When the world has lost its music
Dare to be the one who sings the song
When a window holds no candle
And a heart has lost its way
Dare to be the first to shine a light
And lead somebody home today

[Pre-Chorus]
For every star that fills the sky
There’s a wish that waits below
And every heart can be a home
For the love we choose to show

[Chorus]
Dare to be the light this Christmas
Dare to be the love we need
Dare to give without a reason
Dare to hope, dare to believe
When the world is cold and weary
Be the warmth somebody feels
Oh, what a wonderful Christmas
If we all would dare to be

[Verse 2]
When an old friend feels forgotten
Dare to be the one who calls
When forgiveness seems impossible
Dare to let the old walls fall
When a dream has turned to ashes
And the road is hard to see
Dare to find a little wonder
In the things that still could be

[Pre-Chorus]
And somewhere bells are ringing
For the young and for the old
Reminding us the smallest kindness
Can warm a world grown cold

[Chorus]
Dare to be the light this Christmas
Dare to be the love we need
Dare to give without a reason
Dare to hope, dare to believe
When the world is cold and weary
Be the warmth somebody feels
Oh, what a wonderful Christmas
If we all would dare to be

[Bridge]
Dare to love when love has hurt you
Dare to laugh through falling tears
Dare to hold a little closer
The ones who’ve stood with you for years
And if someone stands alone tonight
With no gift beneath their tree
May they find beneath the Christmas stars
A friend in you and me

[Final Chorus]
Dare to be the light this Christmas
Dare to be the love we need
Dare to make a heart feel welcome
Dare to hope, dare to believe
Let the bells ring out for kindness
Let it start with you and me
Oh, what a wonderful Christmas
If we all would dare to be

[Outro]
And when the season ends
And the tree comes down again
Keep the light, keep the love
Dare to be
Dare to be
