"Love and fear and hope collide" was the key line in the song. We were improvising in the studio and that was the line and moment of the song that we kept coming back to. We wrote around that and the piece became "Brightest Light."

Lyrics
Your eyes tell a thousand stories
And time doesn't stop for anything or any man
Hey, baby
That's alright
When I hold you
By my side
Love and fear and hope collide
You're my angel
My brightest light
This life
Tricks you into thinking
That tonight
Will stretch into infinity
And you'll stay with me
Hey, baby
That's alright
Every moment
Of your life
Love and fear and hope collide
You're my angel
My brightest light
Hey, baby
That's alright
When I hold you
By my side
Love and fear and hope collide
You're my angel
My brightest light
You're my angel
My brightest light
