[Opening]
[C]There is a point when you [F]cannot walk a[C]way,
When you [F]have to stand up [C]straight and tall,
And [Dm]mean the words you [G]say.
There is a [C]point you must decide,
Just to [F]do it because it’s [C]right,
[Am]That’s when you be[G]come a point of [F]light.

[verse 2]
[C]There is a darkness that [F]everyone must [C]face,
It [F]wants to take what’s [C]good and fair,
And [Dm]lay it all to [G]waste.
And that [C]darkness,
Covers [F]everything in [C]sight,
[Am]Until it meets a [G]single point of [F]light. [G]

[chorus]
[C]All [G]it [C]takes is a [F]point of [C]light
A [F]ray of [C]hope in the [F]darkest [G]night
If you [C]see what’s wrong and you [F]try to make it [C]right
[F]You will [C]be a [G7]point of [F]light

[verse 3]
There are [C]heroes, whose [F]names we never [C]hear,
A [F]dedicated [C]army of [Dm]quiet volun[G]teers.
Reaching [C]out to feed the hungry, reaching [F]out to save the [C]land,
[Am]Reaching out to help [G]their fellow [F]man. [G]

[verse 4]
[A]There are [D]dreamers who are [G]making dreams come [D]true
Taking [G]time to teach the [D]children, there’s [Em]nothing they can’t [A]do.
Giving [D]shelter to the homeless, giving [G]hope to those with[D]out,
[B]Isn’t that what [A]this land’s all a[G]bout. [A]

[verse 5]
[Bm]One by one, from the [D]mountains to the sea,
[G]Point’s of light, [D]are calling out [Em]to you and [A]me.

[chorus]
[D]All it takes is a [G]point of [D]light
A [G]ray of [D]hope in the [G]darkest [A]night
If you [D]see what’s wrong and you [G]try to make it [D]right
[G]You will [D]be a [A7]point of [G]light

[Closing]
If you [D]see what’s wrong and you [G]try to make it [D]right
[G]You will [D]be a [A7]point of [G]light [D]
