The Light

I doubted the ocean
Until I felt the waves
I thought I was invincible
Till I felt my heart break
There's plenty things that left me
They never left me satisfied
But I found what I was missing in my life
When I saw the light
I conquered my fears
Then had to fight them again
I found the root of bitterness
In the place I hide my sin
Used to be alright with ok
But it felt so dark inside
Realized that there was so much more to life
When I saw the light
(Oh, I wanna live)
(Oh, I wanna be)
(I want to live)
(Inside Your light)
The old is gone
The new has come
And I'm alive
Inside Your light
The old is gone
The new has come
And I'm alive
Inside Your light
Inside Your light
Every story that I've heard
Always has an end
But the minute ours is over
Eternity begins
So I'll breathe in every moment
Love like I'm out of time
And You'll be waiting on the other side
When I see the light
(Oh, I wanna live)
(Oh, I wanna be)
When I see Your light
(I want to live inside Your light)
It changed my life
(Oh, I wanna live)
(Oh, I wanna be)
When I saw the light
(I want to live inside Your light)
The old is gone
(Oh, I wanna live)
The new has come
(Oh, I wanna be)
And I'm alive, inside Your light
(I want to live inside Your light)
The old is gone
(Oh, I wanna live)
The new has come
(Oh, I wanna be)
And I'm alive, inside Your light
(I want to live inside Your light)
The old is gone
(Oh, I wanna live)
The new has come
(Oh, I wanna be)
And I'm alive, inside Your light
(I want to live inside Your light)
The old is gone
(Oh, I wanna live)
The new has come
(Oh, I wanna be)
And I'm alive, inside Your light
(I want to live inside Your light)
(Oh, I wanna live)
(Oh, I wanna be)
(I want to live)
(Inside Your light)
(Oh, I wanna live)
(Oh, I wanna be)
(I want to live)
(Inside Your light)
