Verse 1 I used to think the years were wasted Pages torn and thrown away Wandered roads I can’t remember And some I’d never dare to say Carried shame like it was shelter Wore regret like second skin Tried to run from every echo Of the place I should have been Chorus But I was never really lost Even when I couldn’t see You were walking in the shadows Still believing still in me All the wrong turns, all the waiting Every cost, every cross Now I know the life I thought was gone Was never really lost Verse 2 I found grace in broken pieces Love that met me where I bled Answers didn’t come in thunder But in quiet steps I tread You were there in all the silence In the nights I cursed the sky You were writing out redemption While I only asked You why Chorus But I was never really lost Even when I couldn’t see You were walking in the shadows Still believing still in me All the wrong turns, all the waiting Every cost, every cross Now I know the life I thought was gone Was never really lost Bridge You take the scattered years And thread them into grace You rewrite the story I tried so hard to erase I thought it all was over But it’s only just begun You were never done... Final Chorus (lifted) I was never really lost You were there through every mile Every failure held a purpose Every tear was worth the trial Now the light is breaking through me And I see at any cost That the life You shaped inside of me Was never really lost Outro (gently) I thought I was a stranger But I’ve always been Your own You never stopped the search for me Till You brought me home
