lyrics

The greater the love
The greater the fear
The brighter the light
The darker the shadow

The greater the joy
The deeper the pain
The higher the mountain
The greater the fall

How can I hold it all in my heart
How could I live if you and I were torn apart
Where would I find the strength
How could I travel that length
How can I hold it all here in my heart

The deeper the ocean
The stronger the tide
The wider the sky
The further we fly

The darker the night
The brighter the dawn
The longer the agony
The greater the joy

Maybe I don't have to hold it all in my heart
Because you and I will never be torn apart
Please grant me the grace
Let me get out of this race
Teach me to let it all flow through my heart

The longer I hold you
The better I feel
The further we let it go
The more we will heal

The farther I follow you
The brighter the light
The longer the day
The sweeter the night

The farther I follow you
The brighter the light
The longer the day
The sweeter the night
