How long have you been standing there?
A witness to my grief
My shaking fist, my agony
My begging for relief
I would've given anything
It seemed my soul was not enough
When you watched me lose everything
Did you wanna pick me up?
Did you wanna pick me up?
Did it break you when I was broken?
Did it hurt you to hear me cry?
To love me wasn't easy
Did it kill you inside?
You laid it all down to see me
Come alive
Alive
You hold a mirror to my face
Now that the battle's done
Beautiful scars I can't erase
To prove how far I've come
Leathered skin for lessons learned
Things I had to learn alone
Piles of wisdom I have earned
All from sand to polished stone
Did it break you when I was broken?
Did it hurt you to hear me cry?
To love me wasn't easy
Did it kill you inside?
You laid it all down to see me
Come alive
Like water from a riverbed
Smaller than every village
You let me go, you set me free
Yeah, this is how you carried me
Did it break you when I was broken?
Did it hurt you to hear me cry?
To love me wasn't easy
Did it kill you inside?
You laid it all down to see me
Come alive
Alive
I'm awake and alive
Baby, I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm awake and alive
