This world is broken – it’s broken
And no light is getting in
‘Cause all of creation – creation
Has been vandalized by sin
And here all the shadows – the shadows
Are gathering their strength
And our own greed and hate and selfishness
Have only paved the way
So maybe we’re fools to believe
That love has the power to change anything
But oh, now – don’t you lose heart
Yeah, don’t you give up
That’s not who you are
Only light can drive out the dark
Yeah you’ve got to believe me
You shine like a star
And it’s never easy, but don’t you lose heart
We’re cursing the darkness – the darkness
But still the dawn has not arrived
Lighting a candle against the shadows
Is our defense against the night
And maybe we’re fools to believe
Only love has the power to change anything
But oh, now – don’t you lose heart
Yeah, don’t you give up
That’s not who you are
Only light can drive out the dark
Yeah you’ve got to believe me
You shine like a star
It’s never easy, but don’t you lose heart
You shine (I love, I love the way you shine)
You shine (I love, I love the way you shine)
You shine (you shine)
Maybe we’re fools to believe
But we know that love has the power to change everything
Oh, now – don’t you lose heart
Yeah, don’t you give up
That’s not who you are
Only light can drive out the dark
Yeah you’ve got to believe me
You shine like a star
It’s never easy, but don’t you lose heart
