lyrics

Brighter

I walked to every end of the earth,
Now with empty arms back home I’ve returned.
And monuments fell as the ages passed by,
While wandering men gave up in the night,

But I’m gonna find my way to you,
And I’m gonna die each day till I do.

Still, I’ll go to every end of the depths,
With no stars in sight and no sunrise or set.
‘Cause I’ve got a hope in my heart that you lit,
And I swore to hold on while I’m still breathing.

I’m gonna find my way to you,
And I’m gonna die each day till I do.

Fear not when the fire goes out, my brothers,
‘Cause you’ve got something brighter than any lantern.
Fear not when the fire goes out, my sisters,
You’ve got something brighter than any lantern could hold

Oh,

You’ve got something brighter.

O’er every straight line by all those enlightened
And every great mind, I searched and I counted
For a thread of life's meaning and still I found nothing
No bread for the hungry, no hope for the dying
And no sex or wealth or warmth of experience
Could fill up the hole expanding my stomach
And no light would last that could fit in my hands
So now I see that nothing here’s as bright as you, God.
