Lyrics

Verse 1


Wake up to the morning light
Wipe away the lonely night
Let a brand new day wash over you


Wanna see you smile again
Show some love to your crazy friends
Wipe your tears away, those days are through


Pre-Chorus


If you move just a little bit closer
You can put your head on my shoulder
Yeah, yeah


Chorus


So, baby, hold on
Just another day or two
I can see the clouds are moving faster now
And the sun is breaking through


If you can hold on
To the one that's holding you
There is nothing that can stop this crazy
Love from breaking through


Hook


We're breaking through
Whoa, whoa, oh, oh
We're breaking through
Whoa, whoa, oh, oh


Verse 2


Wake up to the rising sun
Thank the Lord for the things He's done
Lift your eyes to the hope that's ever true


Wanna see you smiling, girl
You're a light in this jaded world
Wipe away those tears, this one's for you


Pre-Chorus


Come on, move a little bit closer
You can put your head on my shoulder
Yeah, yeah


Chorus


So baby, hold on
Just another day or two
I can see the clouds are moving faster now
And the sun is breaking through


If you can hold on
To the one that's holding you
There is nothing that can stop this crazy
Love from breaking through


Bridge


And the stars are up, they're shining for you
Oh, how the Father does adore you
His love will never change


And you and I, we were born to follow
The hope that will lead us to tomorrow
And no one can take it away


Chorus


So baby, hold on
Just another day or two
I can see the clouds are moving faster now
And the sun is breaking through


If you can hold on
To the one that's holding you
There is nothing that can stop this crazy
Crazy love from breaking


Final Chorus


So baby, hold on
You see the clouds are moving faster now
And the sun is breaking through


If you can hold on
To the one that's holding you
There is nothing that can stop this crazy
Crazy love from breaking through


You see the clouds are moving faster now
The clouds are moving faster
You see the clouds are moving faster now
And the sun is breaking through


Outro


We're breaking through
Whoa, whoa, oh, oh
We're breaking through
Whoa, whoa, oh, oh


We're breaking through
Whoa, whoa, oh, oh
We're breaking through
Whoa, whoa, oh, oh

Meaning & Inspiration

This upbeat pop-rock song is an encouragement addressed to a discouraged listener. It opens with morning imagery, asking someone to wipe away tears and let a new day wash over them, then promises that "the sun is breaking through" as clouds move faster.

The chorus asks the listener to hold on "to the one that's holding you," which points to God's care as the source of steadiness. A later verse makes the faith element explicit: "Thank the Lord for the things He's done," and the bridge says the Father adores the listener and that His love will never change.

The language of waiting out a hard stretch and finding relief at daybreak resembles Psalm 30. The repeated "We're breaking through" ending gives the track a communal, hopeful close, and the focus stays on comfort and perseverance.
