[Intro]
(Mmm, yeah)(Why must they suffer...)(Sha-ma-ha-ra-ta... let the light break in)(Listen close now)
[Verse 1]
Suffer the little children who cry all alone in their bed with no one who cares
Suffer the little children who hide in the dark, afraid to come out in the cold
Wearing rags on their backs while the rich have their laughs and the stories stay untold
Why must it be the children who suffer in this world of destruction and pain?
I was just a little girl confused, torn away from everything I knew in the rain
Wearing a heavy mask on the outside to protect what was left on the inside
Trying to escape a past that always caught up to my stride(Always caught up, yeah...)
[Pre-Chorus]
My fears, my pain, my tears, constant regrets in my mind
Crying out in the midnight hours for the strength I need to find
But there is nothing hidden that won't be revealed to the sun
I can feel the atmosphere shifting, a brand new shift has begun!
Oh, break the chains!(Let the strings rise!)
[Beat Drop]
[Chorus]
When faith walks in, I hear that old panic back up and let go
Peace moves in slow, then it settles down low
My joy, my kids, my hard-won laughter keep this house alive
They pull me out of the deep end, make the dull parts come alive
I’m stepping out where everybody can see me shine
God put a steady flame in this heart of mine(Yeah, shine the light!)
[Verse 2]
Wipe those tears, no need to cry, a soul is weak without love
I've sat in the low valleys but my help comes from above
I’m still here, today is not my last, so stand tall and be strong
My God is always beside me and He keeps me from where I don't belong
No more performing, no more faking a smile to get by
I got down on bended knee and looked straight to the sky!
[Bridge]
(Speaking in tongues: Ka-ra-ba-sha-ta! Ho-san-na!)
I paid my dues in the trenches, I broke through every single weight
Now I can feel the degrees of alignment shifting my entire fate!
Gideon took the ten down to conquer in the night
I’m weeding out the worry, stepping forward in His might!
(Watch me stand! Watch me stand!)
[Chorus: Acapella Breakdown]
[Acapella]
Because my joy, my happiness, my children fill this place...
Refilling every emptiness with laughter and with grace...
[Full Force Drop]
I’m coming out of the shadows, ready to stand up and shine!
Shining the beautiful light that God has put in this heart of mine!
(We ain't breaking down!)
[Outro]
Wipe those tears...
No more crying alone.
When faith comes,
the struggles fade away.
My home, my children...
My own.
He keeps on loving me.
I am bold.
(I am bold... mmm, yeah)
[Fade Out]
[End]
