Lyrics
[Verse 1] May mga gabi na tahimik ang mundo Pero ang puso ko, umiiyak sa’Yo I tried to be strong, I tried to be brave But I was breaking underneath the weight Far from the home I used to know Carrying dreams I could not show Sa bawat luha, sa bawat dasal You were still there through it all [Pre-Chorus] When I could not see the way You whispered, “Anak, do not be afraid” Kahit madilim ang paligid Your love was burning deep within [Chorus] You are my ilaw sa dilim My hope when I cannot breathe When the storm is louder than my faith You hold me close, You call my name You are my ilaw sa dilim The grace that carries me Kahit malayo, kahit masakit Your love will lead me home again [Verse 2] I left some pieces of my heart behind Mga alaala, frozen in time Faces I miss, voices I know Prayers that follow wherever I go But every mile and every tear Reminds me You are always near Hindi man madali ang bagong buhay You give me strength for another day [Pre-Chorus] When I could not find my voice You turned my sorrow into praise Kahit mahina ang aking awit You heard the cry beneath it [Chorus] You are my ilaw sa dilim My hope when I cannot breathe When the storm is louder than my faith You hold me close, You call my name You are my ilaw sa dilim The grace that carries me Kahit malayo, kahit masakit Your love will lead me home again [Bridge] And if I fall, You lift me higher If I’m cold, You are the fire If I’m lost, You are the road If I’m tired, You bring me home Hindi Mo ako iniwan Hindi Mo ako binitawan Sa bawat sugat, sa bawat luha You are the light inside my soul [Guitar Solo] emotional electric guitar solo, soaring and melodic [Final Chorus] You are my ilaw sa dilim My hope when I cannot breathe When the storm is louder than my faith You hold me close, You call my name You are my ilaw sa dilim The grace that carries me Kahit malayo, kahit masakit Your love will lead me home again [Outro] Ilaw sa dilim You lead me home again Ilaw sa dilim Hindi Mo ako iniwan
