Lyrics

No matter how I try, I can't compromise
The things I love in my life
Despite loneliness and pain, there's a fire that won't die
Out in the rain

(Chorus)
So when the clouds come, to take my joy away
I rise above, to the judgment day
When the son will come, I know he'll say,
"My child, you've become one of my brightest days."

(Verse 2)
It's good for me to remember,
dark places I have been
So I don't stumble again
Put down, I've been put out,
but the embers still remain
As a phoenix I'm reborn
into a naked flame

(Chorus)
So when man's law, says I should go down
It helps me to remember that you wore my crown
And the crosses that I bear are nothing compared
To the one you bore for me, and all humanity


(Bridge)

Can I be, your brightest day
Lord let the love of your son light the way
Jesus can I stand in the light of your day
Let me be your brightest day

(Chorus)
So when the son comes to take us all away
Shining from above, he'll come to me
And take my hand, and with a smile say
Won't you walk with me on my brightest day
