If everything you view is a blessing
Then you only lose if you lose the lesson
I could've lied, I could've worn a disguise
Mixed up, my ego with pride
Just to hide how I felt inside
But everything I tried just never felt right
You always lose everything that you held tight
And I didn't want to believe this world is nothing but lust and greed
Where the good die young and the old and corrupt find a way to hold on
How do you sleep with blood on your hands
And nobody ever has love in their plans
But when it shows up, everything takes a backseat
Someone said life is love, I said exactly
Someone said life is love, I said exactly
And your mind starts changing
Feels like your chest's gonna cave in
I was just sitting on a pavement
I never knew life could be amazing
I wanted to burn it down
I was facing the devil then I turned around
And I saw a cloud with silver lining
And it felt like God saw the pain that I'm in
Then I surrendered it all
If you ever felt like ending it all
Like death was the lock to pick
That ain't what the option is
I can see in your heart there's a lot to give
You wanna share your gift then you've got to live
If everything you view is a blessing
Then you only lose if you lose the lesson
When the lessons are learned
The blessings are earned
Don't measure the hurt
Just cause you fell in the dirt
But you rise to the top
Found a place to call home inside us
And you're back there whenever your eyes shut
That's my love, that's me, that's my love
That's the place that I needed to be in
That's a warm welcome in every season
It's not an excuse, it's a reason
That's the place that I've always believed in
I just wanna go there, I just wanna take you with me
I need fresh air, get away from the cities
Paradise here and a place so pretty
It don't mean nothing if you ain't here with me
It don't mean nothing if you ain't here with me
What a sweet world
It's opened
To your eyes
Just a guess
So take all the hate that they gave to you
And just let it all go
I'll pray for you
If I know that you're coming
I'll wait for you
I'll stand outside
Open the gates for you
I promise
