I found life and I found laughter
In forgiveness, I found rest
On the shoulders of redemption
I found hope when hope was dead
I could lose it in a moment
So I dare not close my eyes
I'll watch fear fall with the sunset
And see hope rise with the tide
And when the pain is true
Sometimes these troubles prove that I'm alive
My eyes are open, my heart is beating
My lungs are full, and my body's breathing
I'm moving forward, I found my freedom
I found a life that gave me reason to live
As this dusty road now settles
And I see what lay before
Every tear that held a broken dream Is now shattered on the floor
And now bursting forth in splendor are the blossoms of second tries
Because dreams that bear the mark of love are dreams that never die
Ohhh ohh ohh
Sometimes life can feel so unkind
Sorrow won't define me So just reminds my soul. My soul
My eyes are open, my heart is beating
I know this sorrow. I know the heartache
I know with fear comes a tragic heartbreak
Well I'm moving forward. I found my freedom
I found the life that gave me reason to love
