"Where the Light Begins" by Susan LaBarr

WHERE THE LIGHT BEGINS (SATB) Music by Susan LaBarr Words by Jan Richardson --- From "Femme Gaze" - Featuring VAMP October 4 & 5, 2025 Austin Public Library Juli Orlandini, Conductor Benjamin Dia, Piano --- LYRICS: Perhaps it does not begin. Perhaps it is always. Perhaps it takes a lifetime to open our eyes, to learn to see. The luminous line of the map in the dark, The vigil flame in the house of the heart, The love so searing we can’t keep from singing, from crying out. Perhaps this day the light begins. We are where the light begins. Perhaps it does not begin. Perhaps it is always.
