Lyrics

WHEN THE STARS CAME CRASHING DOWN

IN TINY PIECES TO THE GROUND

I WAS ALL ALONE DOWN HERE

TRAPPED BENEATH THE ATMOSPHERE

THEN I THOUGHT SOMEBODY CALLED MY NAME

I SPUN AROUND AND CAUGHT A FLAME

I GAVE IN TO A GOD I DIDN’T KNOW

 

AND NOW EVERYTHING IS FALLING INTO PLACE

A BRAND NEW LIFE IS CALLING AND I OWE IT ALL TO GRACE

 

IT’S SO MUCH BRIGHTER LIVING IN YOUR WORLD

SAVIOR WHAT YOU DID FOR ME

YOU GAVE ME SOMETHING I WANT EVERYONE TO SEE

WHEN WE STUMBLE AND IT ALL GOES WRONG

ONLY YOU CAN MAKE IT RIGHT

SO I SAY OH OH OH OH OH

I’M LEARNING TO BE THE LIGHT

 

WHOA-OA

WHOA-OA-OA

I’M LEARNING TO BE THE LIGHT

WHOA-OA

WHOA-OA-OA

 

WHEN A HEART IS COLD AS ICE

YOU CAN’T MELT IT WITH ADVICE

NO ONE WANTS TO LISTEN TO

A LIST OF THINGS THEY SHOULDN’T DO

SO I BUILD A CITY ON A HILL

AND I LIGHT A CANDLE ON THE SILL

KNOWING YOU’LL BE ALWAYS KNOCKING AT THE DOOR

OH GOD I JUST WANT TO LOVE ON EVERYONE

ALL I HAVE IS YOURS TO GIVE SO LET THE PEOPLE COME

 

IT’S SO MUCH BRIGHTER LIVING IN YOUR WORLD

SAVIOR WHAT YOU DID FOR ME

YOU GAVE ME SOMETHING I WANT EVERYONE TO SEE

WHEN WE STUMBLE AND IT ALL GOES WRONG

ONLY YOU CAN MAKE IT RIGHT

SO I SAY OH OH OH OH OH

I’M LEARNING TO BE THE LIGHT

 

 

WHOA-OA

WHOA-OA-OA

I’M LEARNING TO BE THE LIGHT

WHOA-OA

WHOA-OA-OA

I’M LEARNING TO BE THE LIGHT THAT MAKES THE SHADOWS HIDE

THE LIGHT THAT BREAKS THE CURSE OF PRIDE

THE LIGHT THAT TAKES THE WEARY IN ITS ARMS

 

WHEN IT ALL CAME CRASHING DOWN

THERE WAS ONLY DARKNESS ALL AROUND

BUT IN THE DISTANCE I COULD SEE A FLAME

 

IT’S SO MUCH BRIGHTER LIVING IN YOUR WORLD

SAVIOR WHAT YOU DID FOR ME

YOU GAVE ME SOMETHING I WANT EVERYONE

I MEAN EVERYONE TO SEE

WHEN WE STUMBLE AND IT ALL GOES WRONG

ONLY YOU CAN MAKE IT RIGHT

SO I SAY OH OH OH OH OH

I’M LEARNING TO BE THE LIGHT

 

WHOA-OA

WHOA-OA-OA

I’M LEARNING TO BE THE LIGHT

WHOA-OA

WHOA-OA-OA

I’M LEARNING TO BE THE LIGHT

WHOA-OA

WHOA-OA-OA

I’M LEARNING TO BE THE LIGHT

WHOA-OA

WHOA-OA-OA

I’M LEARNING TO BE THE LIGHT
