Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. This is where I belongThis is where I should beI was lost now I’m foundAnd it’s all clearer nowI can finally seeThis is how it should feelThis is just what I needBeen on both sides of the lineAnd now I feel the lightAnd I never wanna leave
’Cause I’m closerCloser than I’ve ever been beforeDrawing nearer to his sideMoving towards the lightCloser
2. There’s no more regretThe heartache is goneIt’s a change that’s so realAll that I can feelis redeeming love
And I’m closerCloser than I’ve ever been beforeDrawing nearer to his sideMoving towards the lightCloser
And I’ll keep moving forwardNo matter what the costLooking towards the day whenHe can hold me in his arms
CloserCloser than I’ve ever been beforeDrawing nearer to his sideMoving towards the lightCloserCloser than I’ve ever been beforeDrawing nearer to his sideMoving towards the lightCloser
