Lyrics Brooke Fraser – Day Is Dimming (Original Demo)

The day is dimming and I’m yearning for you
I won’t be satisfied till I see your face
Every victory, every loss
Every tick and every cross

It seems I’m finding more of why
In these moments
I feel like I’m made to sing of how good you are
The more the years swell by and pass
Each second’s more than last
It’s true by far

That no profound thought or clever rhyme
No soaring grand, melodic line
No theory, philosophy or sign
Can explain it
Can explain

Where you are, I wanna be
It’s your love that has changed me
I’d give the world, and all it’s charms
For a moment in your arms
Better is one day with you
Than a thousand elsewhere
A thousand elsewhere

I still remember what it felt like before you
I’m grateful every day for how things have changed
I’ll thank you every way I can
‘Cause my life only began
When I heard you call my name

Now, no praise of man
No great acclaim

‘Cause where you are, I wanna be
It’s your grace that has raised me
I’d give my whole life to honor you
And whom I live
And whom I move
Better is one day with you
Than a thousand elsewhere

Better is one day in your courts
Better is one day in your house
Better is one day in your courts
Than anywhere else oh
Lead me, lead me
Lead me to yourself
Lead me to your heart

Where you are, I wanna be
It’s your love that has changed me
I’d give my life, to honor you
And whom I live
And whom I move
Better is one day with you
Than a thousand elsewhere
A thousand elsewhere

Lead me to yourself
Lead me to your heart
I’ll be found in you
I’ll be found in you
Here is peace
Here is joy
Here is light
Here is freedom, freedom
