Bright Light Bright Light Grace lyrics

It takes a lot to be somebody you don't want to be,
To give somebody back what you can't keep.
Hoping that a lover can be gracious in defeat,
Knowing you could never be.
It takes time.

And time makes me so curious that I no longer sleep.
Time makes me so fickle I can't breathe.
I owe so much to love that I'm left drifting on the breeze,
More than I can bring myself to speak.
It takes time.
It takes time.

Say the word and learn to believe it.
Let go of what you need gone.
Keep hope when you don't see it.
Keep on moving along.
Speak out what you believe in.
Make up for what you've done wrong.
Let it go and start to open up again.

It takes a lot to watch somebody tearing at your seam,
Knowing you're the cause of what they feel.
And pain will make them furious until they find release.
Until you know they're ready to make peace.
That takes time.
And that takes time.


Say the word and learn to believe it.
Let go of what you need gone.
Keep hope when you don't see it.
Keep on moving along.
Speak out what you believe in.
Make up for what you've done wrong.
Let it go and start to open up again.

It takes a lot to see somebody cry,
When you care but it's just not right.
It takes a lot to see somebody cry out,
When you care but it's just not right.
It takes a lot to see somebody cry.
It takes a lot to make it right, and say …

Say the word and learn to believe it.
Let go of what you need gone.
Keep hope when you don't see it.
Keep on moving along.
Speak out what you believe in.
Make up for what you've done wrong.
Let it go and start to open up again.

[Repeat]
