"I see the Light" lyrics

This song is in the movie "Tangled" and is performed by Mandy Moore and features Zachary Levi.  Below are the lyrics.  It makes me think about my descent into the real me, the one who is happy and cares about life again.  Both the "you" in the lyrics and the "I" are me so it is like I'm talking to myself, telling the depressed Shanda that the real Shanda is the one I want to be.  And yes, I am aware that this is meant as a love song but hell, if I cannot love myself, then who can?

All those days watching from the windows
All those years outside looking in
All that time never even knowing
Just how blind I've been
Now I'm here, blinking in the starlight
Now I'm here, suddenly I see
Standing here, it's all so clear
I'm where I'm meant to be

And at last I see the light

And it's like the fog has lifted
And at last I see the light
And it's like the sky is new
And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once everything looks different
Now that I see you

All those days chasing down a daydream

All those years living in a blur
All that time never truly seeing
Things the way they were
Now she's here shining in the starlight
Now she's here, suddenly I know
If she's here, it's crystal clear
I'm where I'm meant to go

And at last I see the light

And it's like the fog is lifted
And at last I see the light
And it's like the sky is new
And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once, everything is different
Now that I see you, now that I see you
