The Light That Never Fails
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When the cold bites your bones
And gets in your heart
It can make you feel hopeless
And fear will come to steal your sun
And make it dark
But don’t believe you’re lonely
We've all had that moment
When our shoulder sink
And we sit back and think
We could just run, but
We're not born
To chase the faded light
We're not born
To fall and lose the fight
Never letting go. Oh no!
Am asking you to
Lift me, lift me higher than I ever been
Hold your breath and say
You're gonna come with me
We were born to follow
The light that never fails
(Ough ough ough ough)
We're scared to fight
We're scared to climb
Afraid to die
But I can be your courage
And help you see that you've already won this
We all have that moment
When our head hands low
We question if we should go
Or turn back and run, but
(Ough ough six times)
Come along we'll certainly stay
(Ough ough six times)
Never looking back again
We're not born
To chase the faded light
We're not born
To fall and lose the fight
Never letting go. Oh no, oh
Am asking you to
Lift me, lift me higher than I ever been
(Lift me higher)
Hold your breath and say
You're gonna come with me
(Come with me)
We were born to follow
(Born to follow)
The light that never fails
(Oughh oughh)
The light that never fails
(That never fails ough oughhh)
We were born to follow
The light that never oughhh ough oughhh oughhh
Light that never oughhh ough oughhh oughhh
The light that never fails
