Blessing Offor - Brighter Days Lyrics
Lyrics
I know there’s gonna be some Brighter days
I swear that love will find you in your pain
I feel it in me like the beating of life in my veins
I know there’s gonna be some brighter days
I know there’s gonna be some brighter days
Oh, ashes fall from burning dreams
Oh, never lived through times like these
Oh, if you’re trying hard to breathe in the dark
In the dark
Oh, if your screams don’t make a sound
Oh, if your walls are crashing down
Oh, if your heart just cries too loud all the time
All time, whoa
Oh, oh, oh
Brighter Days
(I see brighter days)

Blessing Offor - Brighter Days
Meaning & Inspiration
Blessing Offor’s “Brighter Days,” released on February 4, 2022, is a powerful anthem of enduring hope that resonates deeply within the human spirit, particularly for those navigating trials of faith and life. The song's core message is one of unwavering conviction that even in the midst of profound sorrow and struggle, a resurgence of joy and peace is not only possible but inevitable. Offor speaks directly to the experience of devastation, acknowledging the "ashes fall from burning dreams" and the feeling of being lost "in the dark" where even cries for help go unheard. This raw honesty invites listeners to confront their deepest pain, recognizing that life can present moments so overwhelming that one feels they are "trying hard to breathe" or that their "heart just cries too loud all the time."
Yet, it is precisely within this vulnerability that the song's strength emerges. Offor's declaration, "I know there’s gonna be some Brighter days," isn't a passive wish but an active proclamation of faith. This sentiment is powerfully mirrored in Scripture, which consistently calls believers to maintain hope even when circumstances seem bleak. Consider the words of Jeremiah 29:11, which assures us that God’s plans for us are for welfare and not for calamity, to give us a future and a hope. Similarly, Romans 12:12 encourages us to "be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer," underscoring the active pursuit of joy even amidst hardship. The promise that "love will find you in your pain" echoes the unwavering presence of God, who, as Psalm 34:18 states, is "near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit." Offor’s personal conviction, "I feel it in me like the beating of life in my veins," reflects the indwelling Spirit that empowers believers to persevere, a testament to God’s abiding faithfulness. The song’s ultimate message is a beautiful testament to the truth found in Hebrews 11:1: "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." It is a call to hold onto that assurance, knowing that the dawn will break, and the light of God’s goodness will indeed usher in brighter days.
