Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Does it seem much darker than it did before, before?
Does it feel like we're up against so much more, much more?
But hope is stirring us inside
And the darkness has to run and hide
'Cause we illuminate the night
There's a war we're fighting
We're waking up and calling on love to rise
Like a battle cry
There's a fire igniting
It's burning everything trying to hide
The light we shine
Cause we're stronger than we think we are
There's a thunder rolling in our hearts
Pushing up against the dark
Yeah we're stronger than we think we are
Cause we're stronger than we think we are
There's a thunder rolling in our hearts
Pushing up against the dark
Yeah we're stronger than we think, stronger than we think
'Cause the night has no power on its own, on its own
Through our fear we give it space where it don't belong, don't belong
But hope is stirring us inside
And the darkness has to run and hide
'Cause we illuminate the night
There's a war we're fighting
We're waking up and calling on love to rise
Like a battle cry
There's a fire igniting
It's burning everything trying to hide
The light we shine
Cause we're stronger than we think we are
There's a thunder rolling in our hearts
Pushing up against the dark
Yeah we're stronger than we think we are
Cause we're stronger than we think we are
There's a thunder rolling in our hearts
Pushing up against the dark
Yeah we're stronger than we think, stronger than we think
Calling every heart chosen from the start
You're not made for hiding
There's a love igniting
There's a war we're fighting
We're waking up and calling on love to rise
Like a battle cry
There's a fire igniting
It's burning everything trying to hide
The light we shine
Cause we're stronger than we think we are
There's a thunder rolling in our hearts
Pushing up against the dark...
Stronger than we think we are
There's a thunder rolling in our hearts
Pushing up against the dark
Yeah we're stronger than we think we are
Cause we're stronger than we think we are
There's a thunder rolling in our hearts
Pushing up against the dark
Yeah we're stronger than we think, stronger than we think
