working forward again

The chorus (it's always a good idea to begin with the chrous since its the most important part in a song):

you are the light

you shine so bright

with all your

warmth and might

That sounds a bit like a religious song - nothing wrong with that, actually. I'll see if I can come up with a bridge that allows for a more mundane interpretation as well.

For the verses I already had a line in mind before putting down the words for the chorus: "I wandered in the dark". Thus, the first verse grew into:

I wandered in the dark

I must have got off course

no signpost and no mark

to show

me the way

back home

to you

I first had used "I had got off my course". Checking the phrase with Google I found that this particular expression seems to be most uncommon, the variant "I had got off the course" is also rarely used, so I decided on "I must have got off course". I often use Google to check my phrasing when I'm not quite sure.

Verse two:

I felt like I was blind

straying aimlessly

but then I didn't mind

'cause I knew

that you'd

be waiting

for me

Now all that's left to do is finding some words for the bridge.
