Lyrics

Brighter

[Verse 1]

Oh, I like to use my brain for You

And use it to write songs to You

You're getting all of the best of me

'Cause I'm giving all of the best of me

Oh, Lord, my heart's only built for two

You won't wear me out 'cause I'm the perfect shoe

You're getting all of the best of me

'Cause I'm giving all of my best

[Chorus]

Ah-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya

I don't need words

And I don't need songs

But I choose to use them

My light shines brighter when it shines with You

Whoa, I ain't blowing smoke

No, this ain't hot air

It's how I choose to love You

My light shines brighter when it shines for two

[Verse 2]

You turned on the trough in me

You light up my heart with possibilities

I'm getting everything I need

'Cause You're giving everything to me

You are forever in my destiny

Woven into it like a tapestry

Your love is everything to me

'Cause You're giving everything I need

[Chorus]

Ah-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya

I don't need words

And I don't need songs

But I choose to use them

My light shines brighter when it shines with You

Whoa, I ain't blowing smoke

No, this ain't hot air

It's how I choose to love You

My light shines brighter when it shines for two

[Bridge]

Oh, this little light of mine

God, You keep it burning (Brighter)

Brighter (Brighter)

Mmm

Trust me, I'm gonna let it shine

If You keep it burning (Brighter)

Brighter (Brighter)

[Chorus]

Ooh, I don't need words

And I don't need songs

But I choose, I choose to use them

I'm brighter when I shine for You

Whoa, I ain't blowing smoke

No, this ain't hot air

It's how I choose, I choose to love You

My light shines brighter when it shines for two

[Outro]

Oh, brighter, brighter

B-b-b-b-brighter

My light shines brighter when it shines for You

Whoa, oh

Brighter, brighter, brighter

Brighter

My light shines brighter when it shines for two
