Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. This is where I belong This is where I should be I was lost now I’m found And it’s all clearer now I can finally see This is how it should feel This is just what I need Been on both sides of the line And now I feel the light And I never wanna leave
’Cause I’m closer Closer than I’ve ever been before Drawing nearer to his side Moving towards the light Closer
2. There’s no more regret The heartache is gone It’s a change that’s so real All that I can feel is redeeming love
And I’m closer Closer than I’ve ever been before Drawing nearer to his side Moving towards the light Closer
And I’ll keep moving forward No matter what the cost Looking towards the day when He can hold me in his arms
Closer Closer than I’ve ever been before Drawing nearer to his side Moving towards the light Closer Closer than I’ve ever been before Drawing nearer to his side Moving towards the light Closer
