“The Light Is Coming (To Take Back What Darkness Stole)” is a leaked Writer’s Reference Demo originally recorded by Victoria Monet for her 2018 debut EP. However, she passed on the track and instead gave it to Ariana Grande for her fourth studio album, “Sweetener,” which was released in 2018.
[Verse 1: Victoria Monet]
I've been waiting for this moment
To shine a light on all the darkness that's been growing
People talking, never listening
Trying to silence me, but my voice is ringing
[Pre-Chorus: Victoria Monet]
I won't let you take away my power
I'm standing strong, I'll make you cower
You won't silence me, no, not anymore
[Chorus: Victoria Monet]
The light is coming to give back everything the darkness stole
I'll shine a light on all the lies that you've been told
The light is coming to break through all the walls you built
I won't be silenced, my voice will be heard, my heart won't wilt
