Story Behind The Song
Wrote with an American Idol "acceptance" song in mind, but it would work for any winner, even a winner in love. Also, I feel the "light" could be that of HIS presence, so there's a bit of spirituality in this.

Lyrics
STANDING IN YOUR LIGHT
(c) Pam Hanna
I clenched my ticket in my hand
I was going to take a chance
Boarding the bus for a long and grueling ride
It was a gamble, this I knew
But my heart said it's what I must do
So I practiced love songs in my mind ... and now
CHORUS
I'm standing in your light
I'm so in awe tonight
I was one in a field of many dreams
And you picked me
I gave my heart and song
You gave me hope to carry on
I must have done something you liked
To be standing in your light
BRIDGE
And I can't begin to tell you how happy you've made me
And I just want to give so much in return to earn the right to be
CHORUS
Standing in your light
I'm so in awe tonight
I was one in a field of many dreams
And you picked and me
I gave my heart and song
You gave me hope to carry on
I must have done something you liked
To be standing in your light
TAG
You made my dreams come true tonight
Now I'm standing in your light ... tonight
