"Brighten the World"

Sitting alone on this hilltop
Waiting for the world to disappear
I confess that I'm a mess without you near
Still wondering when the lonely tears stop
Wondering why I'm so consumed by fear
That the world won't look the same without her here

So many walls I've built between
The one I love and me
I've grown cold being here on my own
I need the light so I can see

[chorus]
Set free
All the brokenness inside of me
I've been so far away
Break through
Like the morning light, I'll wait for you
To brighten my world

Sinking beneath all my sorrows
All the things I've tried to hold on to
I'm so desperate just to feel one thing that's true
Searching for hope in tomorrow
When I know I can find it here and now
In the arms of Grace that cover me somehow

I won't let this place so filled with hate
Dictate what I can do
You have the power to change my world if I let you
Will I let you

[chorus]
Set free
All this brokenness inside of me
I've been so far away
Break through
Like the morning light, I'll wait for you
To brighten my world

Peel away the layers till you get to the core
Push against the current till you reach the shore (x3)

[chorus]
Set free
All this brokenness inside of me
I've been so far away
Break through
Like the morning light, I'll shine for you
To brighten the world
To brighten my world
