[Verse 1] I’ve lived on the wire Between the ache and the glow Fifteen thousand mornings And I still didn’t know Taped-up hands on the ladder Dust in my shoes I kept my eyes on the prize But I paid every bruise [Verse 2] Ten thousand hours Turned my back to the rain I wore out my hunger I wore out my name Some days I was laughing Some days I was gone Still I kept gathering pieces I knew I’d need one day [Pre-Chorus] And now it’s all at once Like a door in my chest Every scar, every stumble Every test, every yes I can feel the picture Starting to ignite All these years were a signal Pointing me to light [Chorus] Connect the dots, connect the dots I’ve been here all along Connect the dots, connect the dots Now the shape is strong All that I lost All I became Bring it together Say my name [Verse 3] I can see the old roads In the map of my skin Every wrong turn mattered Every crack let me in The dream didn’t vanish It was waiting in view Hidden in plain sight Till I finally knew [Pre-Chorus] And now it’s all at once Like a spark in the dark Every piece that I carried Fits a fire in my heart I don’t need to chase it I don’t need to fight All these years were a signal Pointing me to light [Chorus] Connect the dots, connect the dots I’ve been here all along Connect the dots, connect the dots Now the shape is strong All that I lost All I became Bring it together Say my name [Bridge] I was tired of the edge Tired of holding my breath Half in the deep end Half in the gladness left But look at this life Look at this view Everything I’ve lived through Led me straight to you [Final Chorus] Connect the dots, connect the dots I’ve been here all along Connect the dots, connect the dots Now the shape is strong All that I lost All I became Bring it together Say my name Connect the dots, connect the dots It all comes clear tonight Connect the dots, connect the dots I was made for this light
