Lyrics

Inside Job

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

Underneath this smile lies everything

All my hopes and anger, pride and shame

I make myself a pact not to shut doors on the past

Just for today, I am free

[Chorus 1]

I will not lose my faith, it's an inside job today

I know this one thing well

[Verse 2]

I used to try to kill love, it was the highest sin

Breathing insecurity out and in

Searching hope, I'm shown the way to run straight, pursuing the greater way

For all human light

[Pre-Chorus]

How I choose to feel is how I am

How I choose to feel is how I am

[Chorus 2]

I will not lose my faith, it's an inside job today

Oh, holdin' on, the light of the night

On my knees to rise and fix my

Broken soul again

[Bridge]

Let me run into the rain to be a human light again

Let me run into the rain to shine a human light today

Oh, life comes from within your heart and desire

Oh, life comes from within my heart and desire

Oh, life comes from within your heart and desire

[Outro]

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Yeah, yeah, run in the rain

[Instrumental]
