Remedy Drive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Right now my trust is shaken
I try to hold on tight
But there's not much hope in sight
You came through
Lights turned on inside of me
The things You do
On my side every time
Be the fire igniting me
Light a spark in the dark
And make it bright in me
When darkness is upon us
I'm standing on a promise
When I don't see anything
I wait for the rescue that You bring
You came through
Lights turned on inside of me
The things You do
Right the wrongs inside of me
On my side every time
Be the fire igniting me
Light a spark in the dark
And make it bright in me
I'm waiting on Your light
When I can barely see
I'm waiting on Your light
To make it bright in me
