Raven862 asked about this song from the 1998 movie Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (not to be confused with the one shown every Christmas), so enjoy your request! I thought that it might be nice for James and Vivian to do an encore for Music Appreciation's karaoke day in chapter 5 of The Secret Love Song. Everyone wants them to sing again following their awesome duet, and James eventually gives in. Little does anyone know, there's someone watching them, and she's thrilled that James is singing in public again! Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is not mine.

As Karaoke Day in Music Appreciation went on, some of the students were still talking about James and Vivian's duet. They had overheard him and Zandar talking, and how James had protested that he couldn't sing in public. They didn't know why James refused to do it, but they knew that he always played the piano or ran the soundboard. When they heard his duet with Vivian, they had loved it, and now they were chanting for more.

"I don't think an encore's a good idea," James started as Zandar, Desmond, and Hugo pulled him to the front of the room again.

"You're right. It's not a good idea," Zandar agreed. "In your words, James, it's a brilliant idea!"

"Please, James? We never hear you sing, and this is Music Appreciation," Vivian agreed.

"I do appreciate music, but…" James started, but Zandar cut him off.

"That's good to know, so go up there with Vivian again! And you'll appreciate this music I found for you!"

As Vivian smiled and took up her microphone, James sighed, took up his microphone, and started the song.

James: I'm out here on my own
To face the day alone
I need your love
To get me through the night

I'm lost out in the cold
I want someone to hold
I feel you're near
Though you're out of sight

In spite of himself, James managed a smile, but he felt his mind wandering back to his mother, and wondered how she was feeling about him singing in public after saying that he was never going to do it again. He didn't know that she was looking down from Heaven and smiling as she heard him sing in public again.

And even though we're far apart
I search the moonlit sky
I make a wish to be home with you
Can't you hear me cry?
Hear me cry

As he started to get into the song, he didn't notice the jealous look Deidre was giving him. Here he was, singing with Vivian, yet Ezekiel never sang to her.

Show me the light
Someone to lead and guide me
Show me the light
A love to stand beside me

Show me the light
When I fear the dark
A ray of sunshine, a rainbow's arc
Show me the light

When she saw the smile on his face, Vivian smiled herself as she joined him, I'm reachin' for a star
Wonderin' where you are
Where is the love
Searchin' for me too?

Beyond the mountaintop
The dream will never stop
Give me a sign
I'm running out of time

James met her gaze with a smile as he sang with her, And I know someone is on their knees
Praying for me now
Won't you come and hear my pleas?

Vivian smiled back as she sang, Save me

James didn't notice Deidre's jealous look as he joined in, Save me

Vivian started the chorus, Oh, save me somehow
Show me the light
Someone to lead and guide me

James joined her, Show me the light
A love to stand beside me
Show me the light
When I fear the dark
A ray of sunshine, a rainbow's arc
Show me the light

As Deidre was glaring at them, Vivian was singing, When I wake I'll lean on you
To help me to be strong

James joined her again, Give me faith to walk with you
And know where I belong
Where I belong
Show me the light
Someone to lead and guide me

James and Vivian finished the song together, Show me the light
A love to stand beside me
Show me the light
When I fear the dark
A ray of sunshine, a rainbow's arc
Show me the light
Show me the light
Show me the light
Show me the light

Vivian and James sat down over wild applause, and Miss Kelly gave them both an A for the class. She also wrote a note to Professor Blumberg, telling him that James should have more solos and not just play the piano or run the sound board.

As class went on, nobody noticed the spirit of Queen Melinda in the room, murmuring, "Well done, James! I'm so proud of you!"
