god, get me out of here because i don't want to do this anymore

Irreplaceable

Verse 1
Every girl longs to be
The beautiful princess one day to be queen
And every boy wants to be
The hero to sweep her off her feet
But what happened in between
From innocent child to broken dreams
Is this now really all we were meant to be?

Verse 2
Every woman can feel it
A hole deep inside her heart
Every man needs to know it
Is he, is he enough?
But what happens when the world
Has thrown its worst at us
When bruised and battered, hurt and wounded
We cease to love

Chorus
This world needs you
It needs your strength, it needs your love
This world needs you
It's going to need all of us
So don't hide anymore
You are beautiful, you need to know
The light of your soul, the part that you hold
Your heart, irreplaceable

Verse 3
Lonely people, lost and hopeless
Living just to get through the day
Empty steeple, trapped outside
Broken hearts pushed away
If only we could see them and love them
Reach out, be unconditional friends
How amazing, how glorious would we be then

Bridge
Every heart can be mended
And every life once broken be made whole again
Every child once abandoned
And every wound mishandled can find healing from our hands
We love because He first loved us
Darkness falls but be strong and courageous

Chorus
This world needs you
It needs your hands, it needs your voice
This world needs you
It needs your arms of love to the fatherless
So don't run anymore
Your courage and mine, it's going to need us all
To one lonely soul, you are their last hope
You are irreplaceable
