How long have you been standing there?A witness to my griefMy shaking fist, my agonyMy begging for reliefI would've given anythingIt seemed my soul was not enoughWhen you watched me lose everythingDid 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 easyDid it kill you inside?You laid it all down to see meCome aliveAliveYou hold a mirror to my faceNow that the battle's doneBeautiful scars I can't eraseTo prove how far I've comeLeathered skin for lessons learnedThings I had to learn alonePiles of wisdom I have earnedAll from sand to polished stoneDid it break you when I was broken?Did it hurt you to hear me cry?To love me wasn't easyDid it kill you inside?You laid it all down to see meCome aliveLike water from a riverbedSmaller than every villageYou let me go, you set me freeYeah, this is how you carried meDid it break you when I was broken?Did it hurt you to hear me cry?To love me wasn't easyDid it kill you inside?You laid it all down to see meCome aliveAliveI'm awake and aliveBaby, I'm aliveI'm aliveI'm awake and alive
