| happiness i have made simplicity i have discovered truth i have clung to heartbreak i have survived peace i have grasped justice i have acquiesced evil i have battled knowledge i have consumed torture i have endured anger i have released tears i have drowned in calamity i have conquered composure i have mastered dignity i have formed joy i have tasted but beauty i have yet to believe |

| Turnin' molehills into mountains
Makin' big deals out of small ones
Bearing gifts as if they're burdens
This is how it's been
Afraid of coming out of my shell
Too many things I can't do too well
Afraid I'll try real hard
And I'll fail
This is how it's been
Till the day You pounded on my heart's door
And You shouted joyfully
You're not a slave anymore!
You're free to dance
Forget about your two left feet
And you're free to sing
Even joyful noise is music to Me
You're free to love
'Cause I've given you My love
And it's made you free
I have set you free!
My mind finds hard to believe
That You became humanity and
Changed the course of history
Because You loved us so
And my heart cannot understand
How You accept me as I am
But You say You've always had a plan
And that's all I need to know
So when I am consumed
With what the world will say
Then You're singing to me, as You remove
my chains
Free from worry
Free from envy and denial
Free to live, free to give, free to smile |

| because He lives i can face tomorrow..
because I know He holds the future
..and life is worth living just because He lives |

| why does it seem that everyone is finding it more than okay to just discard me? to break promises to me? to intentionally overlook me? to disregard me? to pretend as if what they've done to me is of no consequence?
..to be done with me
in wishing all of this to be a nightmare, wake me
if this is what has become of my reality, give me a dream in which to live
im shattered, Lord.. and with all of me i cry out to all of You.. i stand on my toes and stretch my arms out to You. i just wanna be where You are. |
