A Steady Glow

I haven't known

At first, I don’t believe you’re real

Though I want to more than anything

You've always been just out of reach

But now I see you, tempting

The sweet relief you could provide

Is all I have ever wanted

I am drawn toward your warmth,

Though by my past, I am still haunted

I don’t want to risk it all

And wind up worse than at the start

‘Cause in the wilderness I roam

All I can rely on is my heart

The depth of darkness is unmatched

When there's no one to guide

But you brought hope into my life

From which I no longer hide
