Like a seedling in the clay
When the sun's first golden ray
Marks the breaking of the day
I am turning to the light

I am turning to the light
I am reaching toward the sun
I have journeyed through the night
And the battle now is won
There's a new song in my heart
There's a new day dawning bright
Oh I'm turning to the light

Not so very long ago
I lay covered by the snow
With no sign of spring in sight
Now I'm turning to the light

Like a Robin in the spring
When the dew is glistening
I will raise my voice and sing
I am turning to the light

Oh I'm turning to the light
