Who is your starlight? After this last year, I bet we all see things a bit differently, appreciate more, and acknowledge the light we are blessed with in the darkest of times.
"It is important to witness darkness along with the light. This is because it is only when you are in darkness that you are able to see the stars shining high up in the sky." -Martin Luther King Jr
“The Lord bless you and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.” - Numbers 6:24-26

LYRICS
Dipping' my toe in the ice
I ready my heart as the night
Keeps growing darker with time
It grows darker inside
It's breaking the deeper I go
I breathe in slowly and then hope to God
It won't be much longer till I'm
Strong enough inside
Ooo won't you lift your head up
You'll be my starlight
And I'll be stronger tonight
Things that used to matter now don't
When I see through this lens, it hurts
And yeah, it makes me kind of wonder if I'll
Be strong enough in time
Ooo won't you lift your head up
You'll be my starlight
And I'll be stronger tonight
The dark has helped me see the light
I quiet my heart and I fight
Cause I wanna love harder this time
With all I have inside
I dreamt of a life long ago
So real, you were there, like a memory I needed
To carry back home
To the world that I now know
Ooo won't you lift your head up
You'll be my starlight
And I'll be stronger tonight
Ooo won't you lift your head up
You'll be my starlight
And I'll be stronger tonight
