We Called It Good

[Verse 1] It was already good Everywhere we turned Still, my eyes stayed longer On the one thing not returned [Verse 1] I told myself it was wisdom Not hunger, not need Just a clearer way of seeing Just finally being free [Pre-Chorus] Nothing rushed us Nothing forced our hand We stood there breathing And called it understanding [Chorus] We called it good We said it made sense We named our desire And crossed the fence We called it good But it was ours Not the good You’d spoken From the start [Verse 2] It didn’t look like breaking It looked like choice Like taking up the story Like finding our own voice [Verse 2] But when it opened something It wasn’t what we planned I felt the weight of seeing More than I could stand [Pre-Chorus] No warning thunder No falling sky Just the sudden knowing We couldn’t meet our own eyes [Chorus] We called it good We said it was right But the light came different When it wasn’t Your light We called it good And then we knew We were standing uncovered In a truth we couldn’t undo [Bridge] We looked for leaves We learned to hide We felt the distance Before You named our hearts You weren’t asking where we’d gone You were asking where we were When the sound of You came closer And we felt how far we’d turned [Final Chorus] We called it good But it left us bare We chose our measure Over Your care We called it good And lost our way Still You came speaking To where we’d strayed [Tag] Not our good But Yours
