[Intro] I forgot the sky could look this blue Forgot that hope could feel brand new I spent so long just making it through I almost missed what You were doing [Verse 1] I got used to waking up exhausted Counting every mile like something lost Every day another weight upon me Every prayer another bridge to cross Then somewhere between the hurt and healing Something started changing underneath I caught myself laughing for no reason Like my heart remembered how to breathe [Pre-Chorus] I thought surviving was the finish line You had something better in Your mind [Chorus] I feel alive again Sunlight through the windows Running like a kid With nowhere that I need to go Hands up in the air Like I finally understand You weren’t only keeping me alive You were teaching me to live again Whoa-oh-oh I’m alive again Whoa-oh-oh I’m alive again [Verse 2] I used to think that joy meant nothing happened Nothing broke and everybody stayed Now I know that joy can grow through concrete Little flowers pushing through the gray I still carry stories in these scars Still remember nights I couldn’t sleep But they don’t get to tell me who You are And they don’t get the final word on me [Pre-Chorus] I thought healing meant forgetting pain Maybe healing means I sing anyway [Chorus] I feel alive again Sunlight through the windows Running like a kid With nowhere that I need to go Hands up in the air Like I finally understand You weren’t only keeping me alive You were teaching me to live again Whoa-oh-oh I’m alive again Whoa-oh-oh I’m alive again [Bridge — bright, driving] So turn it up Roll the windows down Let the whole world hear the sound I made it through But more than that You gave me something I thought I’d lost A heart that hopes A soul that sings A reason to believe in better things Yesterday can keep the rain Today I’m dancing anyway [Instrumental Break — energetic drums / melodic guitar lead] [Final Chorus] I feel alive again Sunlight through the windows Running like a kid With nowhere that I need to go Hands up in the air And I finally understand You weren’t only keeping me alive You were teaching me to live again I feel alive again Even with the scars showing Every broken place Has got a little mercy growing I don’t need a perfect life To know exactly where I stand You weren’t only keeping me alive You taught me how to live again [Outro] Whoa-oh-oh I’m alive again Whoa-oh-oh I’m alive again After everything I’m alive again
