Brittany Nicole Waddell (born August 2, 1985), better known by her stage name as Britt Nicole is a Christian pop artist. She is signed to EMI CMG/Sparrow.
Britt Nicole was born on August 2, 1985. Waddell began singing at the age of three in her home church, Truth Temple of (Kannapolis, North Carolina). She, along with her brother and cousin, eventually became involved with the church's daily program on Charlotte TV station WAXN. She was a very gifted dancer, taking ballet, jazz, hip hop, and lyrical. At South Rowan High School, she was a member of the school's advanced chorus group, and had the opportunity to perform with them at Carnegie Hall in New York. Waddell is also an alumna of Duke University's Brightleaf Music Workshop.
Waddell turned down a scholarship from Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee, to pursue a full-time music career. She felt that God was calling her to concentrate on music instead of going to college. In 2004, she signed a management deal with Vertical Entertainment, and then signed a development deal with Word Records. Sparrow Records signed her in 2006, and her first album Say It was released on May 22, 2007. Britt Nicole was the opening act on the Winter Jam Tour with Sanctus Real, Hawk Nelson, Jeremy Camp, Steven Curtis Chapman, and Newsong.
Have you ever felt, OH.
Have you ever felt like that?
Like you just, just rushin' through life
Like you don't have time for your friends or the world
outside
Well, I've been there
We gotta slow it down
Take a look around
When we gonna stop
When we gonna stop runnin', runnin'
It's keeping you and me
From who we need to be
I wanna look like love
Be more than just enough
For the hearts that are broken, coming undone
It's up to you and me
To leave a legacy
If we're all they ever see
I wanna look like, look like love
I wanna look like, look like love
Let me be the first to admit
There are days that I just don't have the strength to
give
Don't wanna stay there
Looking at me missin' everything
When we gonna stop
When we gonna stop runnin', runnin'
Instead of doing nothing
We gotta do something
If I believe there's a Savior
Is the proof in me
Is He alive and breathing
Is He what they'll remember
Is He what they see
When they look at me
Do I look like, look like love
I know that everyone's running
Just trying to get away (you, you can't get away)
Life can feel a lot like a rat race
Like everyday is so mundane
But I am saying...
Hey, hey, oh, oh
I'm not getting caught in the undertow
I'll keep taking it easy and taking it slow
I'm never gonna follow, no
Turn it up, make it loud on your radio
We are gonna dance everywhere we go
Everybody knows
That's how we roll
Why don't you come on and join us
Take your nose off the grindstone
Take, take your hands off the keyboard
And put down the iPhone
And let me hear you say
Hey, hey, oh, oh
We ain't getting caught in the undertow
We'll keep taking it easy and taking it slow
We're never gonna follow, no
Turn it up, make it loud on your radio
We are gonna dance everywhere we go
Everybody knows
That's how we roll (2x)
Don't fold under the pressure
A smile can make it better
Whoa, ya know, ya know, yeah
Don't fold under the pressure
A smile can make it better
And if everything goes wrong
Keep singing this song
Turn it up, make it loud
You, you can't get away
Don't, don't try to get away
Turn it up, make it loud
You, you can't get away
Don't, don't try to get away, oh no
Turn it up, make it loud on your radio
We are gonna dance everywhere we go
Everybody knows
You look around, staring back at you
Another wave of doubt, will it pull you under? You wonder
What if I'm overtaken? What if I never make it?
What if no one's there? Will You hear my prayer?
When you take that first step into the unknown
You know that He won't let you go
So what are you waiting for? What do you have to lose?
Your insecurities, they try to hold to you
But you know you're made for more, so don't be afraid to move
Your faith is all it takes, and you can walk on the water, too
So get out, and let your fear fall to the ground
No time to waste, don't wait, and don't you turn around and miss out
Everything you were made for, I know you're not sure
So you play it safe, you try to run away
If you take that first step into the unknown
He won't let you go
So what are you waiting for? What do you have to lose?
Your insecurities, they try to hold to you
But you know you're made for more, so don't be afraid to move
Your faith is all it takes, and you can walk on the water, too
Step out, even when it's storming
Step out, even when you're broken
Step out, even when your heart is telling you
Telling you to give up
Step out, when your hope is stolen
Step out, you can't see where you're going
You don't have to be afraid
So what are you waiting, what are you waiting for?
So what are you waiting for? What do you have to lose?
Your insecurities try to hold to you
You know you're made for more, so don't be afraid to move
Your faith is all it takes, and you can walk on the water
Dreams, they come
Plans, they change
Yeah, we're gonna break
Yeah, we're gonna break
Things we face make us who we are
Baby you're a star shinning in the dark
Let's go back to the summer,
To the summer when we dreamed in love,
Let's go back again,
Let's go back again
Yeah, back again, my friend
To the summer when...
I'm holding a picture from seven years back
I smile at the memory, it smiles right back at me
And I see brown hair annd bright eyes, such a beautiful blue
A heart full of laughter with nothing to lose
That's how I remember you
You were young, you were free
You dared to believe
You could be the girl
Who could change the world
Then your life took a turn,
And you fell and it hurt,
But you're still that girl
And you're gonna change this world
Woh oh oh oh
You're still that girl
You're still that girl
Woh oh oh oh
You're still that girl
You're still that girl
Sometime life don't go the way you planned
And we all have days when we just don't understand
Search for meaning, it's not always easy
But you're story's not over, it's still being told
Your sunrise is coming without letting go
Let's go back again
To the summer when
You were young, you were free
You dared to believe
You could be the girl
Who could change the world
Then your life took a turn,
And you fell and it hurt,
But you're still that girl
And you're gonna change this world
Woh oh oh oh
You're still that girl
You're still that girl
Woh oh oh oh
You're still that girl
You're still that girl
What if the picture is bigger than you see?
And God has you right where he wants you to be
Just listen to your heart
He's telling you with every beat
You're still that girl
You're still that girl
You're still that girl
You were young, you were free
You dared to believe
You could be the girl
Who could change the world
Then your life took a turn,
Don't you know?
Don't you see?
But you're still that girl
And you're gonna change this world
Woh oh oh oh
You're still that girl
You're still that girl
Woh oh oh oh
You're still that girl
You're still that girl
I see it in your eyes,
I see it in your smile
You're still that girl
I wanna set the world on fire
Until it's burning bright for You
It's everything that I desire
Can I be the one You use?
I, I am small but
You, You are big enough
I, I am weak but
You, You are strong enough to
Take my dreams
Come and give them wings
Lord with You
There's nothing I cannot do
Nothing I cannot do
I wanna feed the hungry children
And reach across the farthest land
And tell the broken there is healing
And mercy in the Father's hands
I, I am small but
You, You are big enough
I, I am weak but
You, You are strong enough to
Take my dreams
Come and give them wings
Lord with You
There's nothing I cannot do
Take my dreams
Come and give them wings
Lord with You
There's nothing I cannot do
My hands, my feet
My everything
My life, my love
Lord, use me
I wanna set the world on fire
Wanna set the world on fire, yeah
Take my dreams
Come and give them wings
Lord with You
There's nothing I cannot do, no
Take my dreams
Come and give them wings
'Cause Lord with You

Nothing I can't do

Lately I've been reeling
Off the way you got me feeling
I've been tired of this for way too long
You give me answers when I didn't ask
You keep bringing up my past
Always play the same old song
Tired of buying all your lies
Acting like I am alright
So I hope you liked it last time 'cause that will be the final time I wear my painted smile
and sing along
Yesterday's where you belong
Ready, ready to put you behind me
Ready, ready to go
Ready, ready to show you the doorway
I think you need to know
That taking your time is out of the question
You're moving way too slow
I'll never stay down
I don't want you around
Ready, ready to go
Can I make it anymore clear?
You're no longer welcome here
I guess you need to hear it again
I've got a brand new life
Love's on my side
Games over, you lose I win
Yes, I'll tell you one more time
No see you later it's goodbye
Hey, you need to pay attention
I don't know how you keep missin' everything I'm trying to say
Listen close, I'm moving on
I'll put this behind me
The way you define me
Love says I'm something more
I'm over the pain
I'm done with the shame
I found what I waited for
You left me with scars
But He healed my heart
I found my place
Secure in His arms
So, I'll put this behind me
Yeah, I'll put you behind
I'll put you behind me
Ready, ready, ready
Ready, ready, ready
Ready, ready, ready
taking your time is out of the question
You're moving way too slow
I'll never stay down
I don't want you around
ready, ready to go
Yeah, I'll put this behind me
Taking your time is out of the question
Been working overtime

oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Why can't you just leave me alone?
Just when I thought you were gone
You threw it up in my face
Why can't you accept that I made a mistake?
Let it, let it go
Let it, let it go
You never let me free
You're like a ball and chain
Take a piece of me and never hesitate
Like gravity you bring me down
And I'm not gonna take it, not gonna take it
Feel it, I can feel it, I won't take it, I can feel it
oh oh oh oh, yeah yeah yeah yeah
It's a good day, to bid you good day
Will you ever let me walk away?
You keep reminding me of yesterday
You're so stuck on bringing me down
You should know by now that I'm not sticking around
Let it, let it go
Let it, let it go
Gotta let, gotta let, gotta let this go
Gotta let, gotta let, gotta let it go
Gotta let me go
'Cause I'm not gonna take it, not gonna
You never let me free
You're like a ball and chain
Take a piece of me and never hesitate
Like gravity you bring me down
And I'm not gonna take it, not gonna take it
It's a good day
Goodbye lies, lame stories
Out my face, out the way, I'm warning
You manipulate, complicate, don't ignore me
It's a good day, to bid you good day
It's a good day
Goodbye lies, lame stories
Out my face, out my way, I'm warning
You manipulate, complicate, don't ignore me
It's a good day, to bid you good day
So say goodbye, don't try hello
It's past the time for you to go
I'm happy now that you're out the way
Can't believe, I played your sorry games
I've let you go, it's such a good feelin'
And I won't be seeing you again
Today today you wanna run away now
You break try to keep it together, love
Love is all you need, you're a queen but you've never
Know it.
Cuz Life has come and left you blinded
Stole your smile, left you crying
It's not your fault, but shame is all you've got now.
[Chorus]
Your heart is tangled up in silence
It's time to let go
And feel the light
I know it's easier to hide
But you gotta let go
And feel the light, let go and feel the light
Be brave, brave the waters all around you
I'll stay I'll keep you from sinking down
(Love) Love is on your side, it's stronger then you'll
Ever know
So many years of quiet
Building up like a fire inside
Feeling like you gotta let it out now
Just let it out
[Repeat Chorus]
How did you get here
Your locked inside of all this fear
Inside your crying out
Your mind's at war
Get out, get out and live for more
There's so much more
Live for more
[Chorus]
Your heart is tangled up in silence
It's time to let go
And feel the light (feel the light)
I know it's easier to hide
But you gotta let go
And feel the light, let go and feel the light
Brave, brave waters all around you
Seven years old, you heard me cry
I don?t wanna say goodbye
To the only man that I love
My daddy and everything he was
I don?t think I can live without you
Dad I know you're breaking in two
With tears running down his face, he says
?We?re gonna make it, we?re gonna make it?
When you feel like you are all alone
Just like your best friend up and gone
Don?t worry now, don?t worry now
I?ve been there, yeah, I know how it feels
To wonder if love is even real
Don?t worry now, don?t worry now
It?s gonna be okay
I?ve been trying to find a way to understand
But I can?t see the picture of God?s plan
Why would He let us hurt so bad?
Could anything good come of these feelings that I have?
He loved me more than the sand on the beaches
He loved me more than the grass is green
And even though he had to go
I always knew his love was part of me, yeah
When you feel like you are all alone
Just like your best friend up and gone
Don?t worry now, don?t worry now
I?ve been there, yeah, I know how it feels
To wonder if love is even real
Don?t worry now, don?t worry now
It?s taken so long to let this go
It?s taken so long to feel that
You're right here next to me
And I can finally breathe
It?s taken so long but now I know
I had to find out on my own
When nothing could convince me
Your love it convinced me
That it?s gonna be okay
When you feel like you are all alone
Just like your best friend up and gone
Don?t worry now, don?t worry now
I?ve been there, yeah, I know how it feels
To wonder if love is even real
Don?t worry now, don?t worry now
Hey there fear...
I've seen you here before
You keep coming back
And knocking on my door
For so long, so long
I've been trying to soar
With my hands tied up and my feet held to the floor
But I'm feelin' like a breakthrough is comin'
I can see that a breakthrough is comin', comin' for me
'Cause my heart, it was made to fly
Destiny can't be denied
I'm tired of waiting
I am overdue for a breakthrough
You used to have me stumblin'
Yeah, trippin' again and again
But I've been studyin' you
And now I know you like the back of my hand
You can't keep me here
I've cried too many tears
Yeah, I've had enough
Now I'm gonna call your bluff
You made your bet, but the stage is set get ready
'Cuz I'm lightin' the fuse
But I'm feelin' like a breakthrough is comin'
I can see that a breakthrough is comin', comin' for me
'Cause my heart, it was made to fly
Destiny can't be denied
I'm tired of waiting
I am overdue for a breakthrough
I can feel a breakthrough comin'
I can feel a breakthrough comin'
I can feel a breakthrough comin'
I can feel a breakthrough comin'
A breakthrough is comin'
I can see that a breakthrough is comin', comin' for me
'Cause my heart, it was made to fly
Destiny can't be denied
I'm tired of waiting
I remember the moment
I remember the pain
I was only a girl
But I grew up that day
Tears were falling
I know You saw me
Hiding there in my bedroom
So alone
I was doing my best
Trying to be strong
No one to turn to
That's when I met You
All this time
From the first tear cried
'Til today's sunrise
And every single moment between
You were there
You were always there
It was You and I
You've been walking with me all this time
Oh,oh,oh,yeah
You've been walking with me all this time
Ever since that day
It's been clear to me
That no matter what comes
You will never leave
I know You're for me
And You're restoring
Every heartache and failure
Every broken dream
You're the God who sees
The God who rescued me
This is my story
This is my story------
All this time
From the first tear cry
'Til today's sunrise
And every single moment between
You were there
You were always there
It was You and I
You've been walking with me all this time
Ooooooooh
You've been walking with me all this time
I hear these people asking me
How do I know what I believe?
Well I'm not the same me
And that's all the proof I need
I felt love, I felt Your grace
You stole my heart that day
Ooooooooh
Youve been walking with me all this time
All this time
From the first tear cry
Till today's sunrise
And every single moment between
You were there
You were always there
It was You and I
You've been walking with me all this time
Ever since the first tear cry
It was You, You and I
You've been walking with me all this time
Ever since the first tear cry
It was You, You and I
Coming back to you
I?ve been looking for love in another?s eyes
Searching for water but I come up dry
Thought that I could find
Happiness in the world?s applause
Peace of mind in a worthy cause, yeah
Take me back, take me back
Go to trust in the simple truth
Got to trust, all I really need is
You, I?m coming back to You
The only thing I know worth living for
Will You take this heart and make it more like
You, I give it back to You
It?s obvious no one could love me more
I?m Yours, I?m coming, coming back, yeah
I?m coming, coming back
Yeah, I?m coming, yeah I?m coming back
To joy that speaks to my deepest need
To arms never far out of reach
Yeah, how Your love
It calls to me when I lose my way
Holds me close when I feel afraid
Take me back, take me back
Got to trust that I?m safe and sound
Got to trust that it all comes down to
You, I?m coming back to You
The only thing I know worth living for
Will You take this heart and make it more like
You, I give it back to You
It?s obvious no one could love me more
I?m Yours, I?m coming, coming back, yeah
I?m coming, coming back
Yeah, I?m coming, yeah I?m coming back
So no more getting caught in the middle
No more waiting for what is unsure
Back to Your love, so true and so simple
Don?t understate it or complicate it
It?s so simple, yeah, it?s so simple
?Cause You, I?m coming back to You
The only thing I know worth living for

I?m coming, coming back, yeah
I?m coming, coming back
I?m Yours, I?m Yours, yeah, yeah
I see it everyday
We say it's only living
Like life is only pain
I see heartbreak on every face
Hurt we can't erase
Dreams that fade away
Like we're all just lost at sea
We need, we need an answer, a hope
And an end to the searching
We need, we need a portrait of grace
Just one steady thing
In a world that aches
In a world that breaks
Somehow before life began
You saw broken man
But You had a perfect plan
You would send your only Son
The Holy gift of love
And He would be enough
To erase all the pain of man
You are, You are the answer, the hope
And the end to the searching
You are, You are the portrait of grace
You're the one steady thing
In a world that aches
In a world that breaks
You are, You are the answer
You are, You are the answer
You are, You are the answer
Jesus, You are
And you are, You are the answer, the hope
And the end to the searching
You are, You are the portrait of grace
You're the one steady thing
In a world that aches
Little girl, terrified
She?d leave her room if only bruises would heal
A home is no place to hide
Her heart is breaking from the pain that she feels
Every day?s the same, she fights to find her way
She hurts, she breaks, she hides and tries to pray
She wonders why
Does anyone ever hear her when she cries?
Today she?s turning sixteen
Everyone singing but she can?t seem to smile
They never get past arms length
How could they act like everything is alright?
Pulling down her long sleeves
To cover all the memories that scars leave
She says, ?Maybe making me bleed
Will be the answer that could wash the slate clean?
Every day?s the same, she fights to find her way
She hurts, she breaks, she hides and tries to pray
She wonders why
Does anyone ever hear her when she cries?
This is the dark before the dawn
The storm before the peace
Don?t be afraid ?cause seasons change
And God is watching over you, He hears you
And every day?s the same, she fights to find her way
She hurts, she breaks, she hides and tries to pray
She?ll be just fine
?Cause I know He hears her when she cries
Every day?s the same, she fights to find her way
She hurts, she breaks, she hides and tries to pray
She?ll be just fine
?Cause I know He hears her when she cries
She?ll be just fine
Now's the time, get in line, don't be afraid tonight
We're gonna take you high, before you realize
'Round and 'round you'll go, up and down, never slow
Feel the excitement grow, oh
This is where you let go
Hands high like a roller coaster
This love is taking over
Take us higher here we go
Oh, oh, oh
Welcome to the show
Gravity we're defying
'Cause we were made for flying
We're about to lose control
Welcome to the show
Oh, oh, we're on a mission nothing, nothing, can stand in our way
Oh, oh, we don't need permission
We're gonna rise up and we'll be the change
Oh, oh, hear us on your stereo
Oh, oh, we're about to lose control
Oh, oh, everybody knows
Oh, oh, this is where you let go
Hands high like a roller coaster
This love is taking over
Take us higher here we go
Oh, oh, oh
Welcome to the show
Gravity we're defying
'Cause we were made for flying
We're about to lose control

Did you wake up on the right or the wrong side of the bed today?
Maybe your morning's running right on time or a little late
Head out
Traffic's slow on the interstate
Take the back way
Will this be a good or a bad day?
Well don't you worry
I could be your sunshine girl
Or the company for your misery
I could be the quiet one
Or the life of the party
Whatever you need, I'm your girl
When you show up does everybody smile and wave or look away?
Are you feeling beautiful or is this a bad hair day?
Maybe you're falling so in love or your heart is about to break
Will this be a good or a bad day?
Well either way
I could be your sunshine girl
Or the company for your misery
I could be the quiet one
Or the life of the party
Go ahead, freak out
I'm gonna stay
So if you're happy or sad, well baby, you can look my way
I could be your sunshine girl
Or the company for your misery
I could be the quiet one
Or the life of the party
I could be your sunshine girl
Or the company for your misery
I could be the quiet one
I wake up to another day
I don't know if I can face
All the fears that are staring me down
Yeah, I'm trying to be brave
But I'm a thread about to fray
I want to stand, but I don't know how
I look U-UP!
and all I see is Your love holding me
When I feel like giving up
When my heart has hurt too much
Feels like i've reached the end
No, I won't turn and run
This battle will be won
When I've done all I can
I stand, stand, stand
I stand, stand, stand
Some days I lose my place
It's a fight to keep my faith
But, You are with me
I am not alone, noooo
When all around my world gives way
Tossed like an ocean wave
You are my rock when the storm clouds blow
I look up
And all I see is Your love holding me
When I feel like giving up
When my heart has hurt too much
Feels like i've reached the end
No, I won't turn and run
This battle will be won
When I've done all I can
I stand, stand, stand
I stand, stand, stand
On Your promise, I will stand
All other ground is sinking sand
On Your promise, I will stand
All other ground is sinking sand
Sinking sand
Is sinking, sinking,
Yea yeah, yeah
When I feel like giving up
When my heart has hurt too much
Feels like i've reached the end
No, I won't turn and run
This battle will be won, yeahhhh
So I'll stand, stand, stand,
I stand, stand, stand
Hello my friend, I remember when you were
So alive with your wide eyes
Then the light that you had in your heart was stolen
Now you say that it ain't worth stayin'
You wanna run but you're hesitatin', I'm talkin' to me
Don't let your lights go down
Don't let your fire burn out
'Cause somewhere
Somebody needs a reason to believe
Why don't you rise up now?
Don't be afraid to stand out
That's how the lost get found
The lost get found
So when you get the chance, are you gonna take it?
There's a really big world at your fingertips
And you know you have the chance to change it
There's a girl on the streets, she's cryin'
There's a man whose faith is dyin', love is callin' you
Don't let your lights go down
Don't let your fire burn out
'Cause somewhere
Somebody needs a reason to believe
Why don't you rise up now?
Don't be afraid to stand out
That's how the lost get found
The lost get found
Why do we go with the flow
Or take an easier road?
Why are we playin' it safe?
Love came to show us the way
Love is a chance we should take
I'm movin' out of the way
Don't let your lights go down
Don't let your fire burn out
'Cause somewhere
Somebody needs a reason to believe
(Stand out)
Don't let your lights go down
Don't let your fire burn out
(Stand out)
'Cause somewhere
Somebody needs a reason to believe
Why don't you rise up now?
Don't be afraid to stand out
That's how the lost get found
The lost get found
So when you get the chance
Are you gonna take it?
There's a really big world at your fingertips
And you know you have the chance to change it
Okay, so I'm gonna say it
I'm not afraid to say it
The clocks on my wall keep ticking
the moments that I keep missing
Okay, so I must confess that
I've settled for so much less than
What You designed
I'm not taking my life one day at a time
'Cause life is short and quickly passing by
Father, will You help me make the most of what is mine
With eyes open wide
I'm taking You in
Making the time
Mean all that it can
I don't need a sign
I just need to begin, need to begin like this
With every second of every minute
I'm livin' in it and that's how I say it
Oh yeah, I'm gonna say it, oh yeah, yeah
That's how I say it
Oh yeah I'm gonna say it, oh, oh
I got so much to discover
A hand I could lend another
A word that could bring some healing
Is there any better feeling?
Hold up, gotta see the beauty
Hold up, gotta let it move me
I wanna be, with You here in the now
I'm done missing out
Let me fall in Your arms
Resting here in Your arms, I found
A peace like I have never known, like I have never known
Counting every star
Nothing's ever too far
With You here
I see it all so clear
With eyes open wide
I'm taking You in
Making the time
Mean all that it can
I don't need a sign
I just need to begin
With every second of every minute
I need you in it
With eyes open wide
I'm taking You in
Making the time
Mean all that it can
I don't need a sign
I just need to begin, need to begin like this
With every second of every minute
I'm livin' in it and that's how I say it
Oh yeah, I'm gonna say it, oh yeah, yeah
That's how I say it
Oh yeah I'm gonna say it, oh, oh
that's how I say it
Oh yeah, I'm gonna say it, oh yeah, yeah
You keep trying to get inside my head
While I keep trying to lose the words you said
Can't you see I'm hanging by a thread
To my life, what I know, yeah, I'm losing control and
Oh no, my walls are gonna break
So close, it's more than I can take
I'm so tired of turning and running away
When love just isn't safe
You're not safe
I'm strong enough I've always told myself
I never want or need somebody else
But I've already fallen from that hill
So I'm dropping my guard
Here's your chance in my heart and
Oh no, my walls are gonna break
So close, it's more than I can take
I'm so tired of turning and running away
When love just isn't
Everything you want, but it's everything you need
It's not always happy endings, but it's all the in-betweens
It's taken so long, so long to finally see
That Your love is worth the best
Oh no, my walls are gonna break
Oh no, my walls are gonna break
So close, it's more than I can take
I'm so tired of turning and running away
When love just isn't safe
Oh no, my walls are gonna break
So close, it's more than I can take
I'm so tired of turning and running away
When love just isn't safe
You see my anxious heart
You see what I am feelin'
And when I fall apart
You are there to hold me
How great Your love for me
Now I see what You're thinkin'
You say I'm beautiful
Your voice is my healin'
Without You I just can't get by
So I'm
Hangin' on to every word You speak
'Cause it's all that I need
Hangin' on to every word You say
To light up my way
Even every little whisper
I'm hangin' on as if it were my life
I'm hangin' on
And when the darkness falls
I can't see what's before me
Your voice is like the dawn
Always there to guide me
Without You I just can't get by
So I'm
Hangin' on to every word You speak
'Cause it's all that I need
Hangin' on to every word You say
To light up my way
Even every little whisper
I'm hangin' on as if it were my life
I'm hangin' on
You know me better than I know myself
Better than anybody else
Your love is soundin' like a ringin' bell
Oh, oh, I won't let go
Hangin' on to every word You speak
'Cause it's all that I need
Hangin' on to every word You say
To light up my way
Even every little whisper
I'm hangin' on as if it were my life
I'm hangin' on
Hangin' on to every word You speak
'Cause it's all that I need
Hangin' on to every word You say
To light up my way
Even every little whisper
I'm hangin' on as if it were my life
She gave it her best
She tried to fit in
She tried to be cool
But she never could win
Her mom says she's great
The kids think she's weird
Honestly she wish she could disappear
Why you tryin, tryin to be like the rest of them
When you know there's so much more within
There's only one you
Here's what ya' gotta do
Whoa, whoa...
Anytime you feel alone, put on your headphones
Love, love's coming through your headphones
Anytime you feel alone, put on your headphones
Love, love's coming through your headphones
L-o-o-ove is coming through your headphones
L-o-o-ove is coming through your headphones
He gets in his car
He falls apart
It came to an end
And now it's breaking his heart
He wants to give up
Wants to try again
Honestly he doesn't know what he's feeling
Hey, you might not see it with your eyes
But keep your head up to the sky
The sun is coming through
Here's what you gotta do
Whoa, whoa...
Anytime you feel alone, put on your headphones
Love, love's coming through your headphones
Anytime you feel alone, put on your headphones
Love, love's coming through your headphones
L-o-o-ove is coming through your headphones
L-o-o-ove is coming through your headphones
So keep your head up high and dust off your shoulders
It's alright, no, it's not over
Love is here, it came to dry up all your tears
Oh, can you feel it
Gotta believe it, gotta see it
By your side in the middle of the night
So keep your head up high and the dust off your shoulders
It's alright, no it's not over
Anytime you feel alone, put on your headphones
Love, love's coming through your headphones
Anytime you feel alone, put on your headphones
Love, love's coming through your headphones
L-o-o-ove is coming through your headphones
L-o-o-ove is coming through your headphones
So keep your head up high and dust off your shoulders
Coming through your headphones
So keep your head up high and dust off your shoulders
Coming through your headphones
Twinkle, twinkle in your eye
Listen to this lullaby
The sun is shining in the sky
I see love it's in your eyes
This aint' the first time you felt like this
This ain't the first time, this aitn' the first time
This ain't the last time you'll feel like this
But it'll be fine
Feels like I've been here forever
Why can't You just intervene?
Do You see the tears keep falling?
And I'm falling apart at the seams
But You never said the road would be easy
But You said that You would never leave
And You never promised that this life wasn't hard
But You promised You'd take care of me
So I'll stop searching for the answers
I'll stop praying for an escape
And I'll trust You God with where I am
And believe that You will have Your way
Just have Your way, just have Your way
When my friends and my family have left me
And I feel so ashamed and so cold
Remind me You take the broken things
And turn them into beautiful
So I'll stop searching for the answers
I'll stop praying for an escape
And I'll trust You God with where I am
And believe that You will have Your way
Just have Your way, just have Your way
Even if my dreams have died
And even if I don't survive
I'll still worship You with all my life
My life, yeah
And I'll stop searching for the answers
I'll stop praying for an escape
And I'll trust You God with where I am
And believe that You will have Your way
Just have Your way, just have Your way
I know You will, I won't forget
Illuminating lights under my skin
Radiation so intoxicating burning within
Feel the heat slowly rising
The beat thats hypnotizing
A wonder can you feel it
Fire thats so contagious
Its taking over me
And you cant stop it
Oh, oh
Turn the lights down so we can
Glow, glow
Watch us come alive
Were gonna
Show you something real
Like a city on a hill
Oh, oh

They see us coming from miles away
Theres no hiding, no denying,

With our hands up in the air
Boys and girls they start to stare

We will not be silent
Wont hide it
The time is now
And you cant stop it
Oh, oh, here we go

Boys and girls they start to stare
You were walking on the moon,
Now you feeling low.
What they said wasn't true,
You're beautiful.
Sticks and stones break your bones,
I know what you're feeling.
Words like those,
Won't steal your glow,
You're one in a million.
This, this is for all the girls,

Whatever you been told,
You're worth more than gold.
So hold your head up high,
It's your time to shine.
From the inside out it shows,
You're worth more than gold.
You're worth more than gold.

You shine brighter.

So don't let anybody tell you that you're not loved.
And don't let anybody tell you that you're not enough.
Yeah, there are days when we all feel like we're messed up.
But that truth is that we're all diamonds in the rough.
So don't be ashamed to wear you're crown
You're a king, You're a queen inside and out,
You glow like the moon, you shine like the stars.
This goes to you, wherever you are!

So, don't be ashamed to wear your crown,
Wait, wait, wait, there's somethin' that I gotta say
It'll take, take, take, just a minute so don't walk away
I search in circles for a remedy
To fight the poison that is killing me
It's like I'm falling fast head over feet
Is anybody listening?

I lay here under the stars in awe of who You are
You've never been so real
I'll never understand it fully
Lost here in Your beauty
No words could say how I feel
It's like I'm seeing for the first time
Like You opened my eyes to show me
Everything I've missed before
And I want more
I used to think we were worlds apart
But look, here You are
Let's stay here for awhile
Where heaven touches earth, my heart begins to turn
I've never felt so alive
It's like I'm seeing for the first time
Like You opened my eyes to show me
Everything I've missed before
And I want more
How many years did You plan this moment here
To show me how You love me
How many years did you plan this moment here
To show me how You love me
It's like I'm seeing for the first time
Like You opened my eyes to show me
Everything I've missed before
It's like I'm seeing for the first time
Like You opened my eyes to show me
Everything I've missed before
And I want more of You
I want more... I want more...
When life has cut too deep and left you hurting
The future you had hoped for is now burning
And the dreams you held so tight lost their meaning
And you don't if you'll ever find the healing
You're gonna make it
You're gonna make it
And the night can only last for so long
Whatever you're facing
If your heart is breaking
There's a promise for the ones who just hold on
Lift up your eyes and see
The sun is rising
The sun is rising
Every high and every low you're gonna go through
You don't have to be afraid I am with you
In the moments you're so weak you feel like stopping
Let the hope you have light the road you're walking
You're gonna make it
You're gonna make it
The night can only last for so long
Whatever you're facing
If your heart is breaking
There's a promise for the ones who just hold on
Lift up your eyes and see
The sun is rising
Even when you can't imagine how
How you're ever gonna find your way out
Even when you're drowning in your doubt
Just look beyond the clouds
Just look beyond the clouds
Whatever you're facing
If your heart is breaking
There's a promise for the ones who just hold on
Lift up your eyes and see
The sun is rising
The sun is rising
Even when you can't imagine how
How you're ever gonna find your way out
Even when you're drowning in your doubt
Just look beyond the clouds
Even when you can't imagine how
How you're ever gonna find your way out
Even when you're drowning in your doubt
Straight for your heart
Straight for your heart
I see you I see your soul clear
I know you wanna disappear
You wonder who will noticed
If you gave up the fight
Some days you feel invisible, out of sight
Right here, right now, tonight
I'm coming straight for your heart
I'm bringing light to the darkness
It's gonna catch like a flood
Everything's about to change
All is takes is a spark
To bring hope where you are
Cuz you're never too far
No you're never too far
Coming straight for your heart
(Straight, straight, straight for your heart) 4x
straight for your heart
Your heart beats
But it's just keeping time
Your living but you don't feel alive
The world outside is turning
While yours in laying still
In the cycle, spinning spiral, holding you until
Right here, right now, tonight
I'm coming straight for your heart
I'm bringing light to the darkness
It's gonna catch like a flood
Everything is about to change
All is takes is a spark
To bring hope where you are
Cuz you're never too far
No you're never too far
I'm coming straight for your heart
(Straight, straight, straight for your heart) 4x
straight for your heart
You don't have to walk this road alone
I'll hold you, hold you
You don't have to live this life alone
I know you, know you
Hidden in the tunnel
I'll be there
Even when you can't fly
I'll be there (3x)
I'm coming straight for your heart
(Straight, straight, straight for your heart) 4x
I'm coming straight for your heart
I'm bringing light to the darkness
It's gonna catch like a flood
Everything is about to change
All is takes is a spark
To bring hope where you are
Cuz you're never too far
No you're never too far
I'm coming straight for your heart
(Straight, straight, straight for your heart) 4x
straight for your heart
You don't have to walk this road alone
I'll hold you, hold you
You don't have to live this life alone
You think you know it all
Just wait and see how you got it (got it) wrong
The days are dead and gone
Where you can push and pull me along
No, no more
I'll push harder, don't you bother
Try your best
You can't destroy me
I'll go farther
I'll get stronger
What I got you can't control
Chorus:
You say I'm breaking again
This time I won't even bend
Not giving in
I'm indestructible
You say you're under my skin
I'm not even listening
You'll never win
I'm indestructible
Try to ruin everything
But I'm not letting you get to (get to) me (get to me, oh no)
Here's what I guarantee
Eventually you'll be weakening (you're weakening)
I'll push harder, don't you bother
Try your best
You can't destroy me
I'll go farther
I'll get stronger
What I got you can't control (no!)
(Chorus)
Here we go
Look in my eyes
Here we go
I'm not afraid to fight
Come a little closer and see what's keeping me alive
Give it up
Without a doubt
Give it up
You're going down
Don't you see that you can't mess with me?
I'll push harder, don't you bother
Try your best
You can't destroy me
I'll go farther
I'll get stronger
What I got you can't control
I'll push harder, don't you bother
Try your best
You can't destory me
I'll go farther
I'll get stronger
What I got you can't control (no!)
(Chorus x2)
You know my name
I know You wrote my story
But there are days
I can't see a happy ending
No, no
Life gets hard
Sometimes it just hurts
It's kicking me down and throwing me curves
When i feel the rain
I won't be afraid
'Cause I know, I know, I know you are who You say You are
Who You say You are
You are the one standing when everything is falling apart
Yeah, You got my heart
I'll still be smiling when the sky is dark
'Cause I believe that You are who You say You are
I've had control
But I didn't where I was going
i went down my road
But my road just left me broken, yeah
I see it all now
I don't know how
But there's never been a time that You let me down
or walked away, so I'm not afraid
'Cause I know, I know, I know you are who You say You are
Who You say You are
You are the one standing when everything is falling apart
Yeah, You got my heart
I'll still be smiling when the sky is dark
'Cause I believe that You are who You say You are
Life's gonna knock me down
It's not gonna keep me down
I'm gonna trust You now in every season
I know You're here
I know You're for me
I know that joy comes in the morning
God, I believe it now
God, I believe you now
You're who You say You are
When life knocks me
i won't stay down
I'll get back up on my feet now
You're more than a conqueror
'Cause I know, I know, I know you are who You say You are
Who You say You are
You are the one standing when everything is falling apart
Yeah, You got my heart
I'll still be smiling when the sky is dark
