This morning I woke up feeling different
Wondering how many years I've been asleep
How many precious moments passed me by
Trying to hold on to what I could not keep
And lately I've been looking in the mirror
I can barely recognize the man I see
I've been trying to forgive myself
For all those years I've wasted in defeat
But this is not who I am
Not who I'm meant to be
I've been living a lie
Truth come and set me free
Set me free
Deep down we're all searching for something
That we know this world can't provide, no
Still we try and try again
To fill up what is empty inside
This is not who we are
Not who we're meant to be
We've been living a lie
Truth come and set us free
Set us free
We fix our eyes on athletes and entertainers
Watch every single move that they make
We're so quick to criticize
The moment that they make a mistake
But this is not who they are
It's not who they're meant to be
They've been living a lie
Truth come and set them free
Free
This is not who they are
Not who they're meant to
It's not who we are
Not who we're meant to
Not who I am
Not who I'm meant to be
Meant to be
Set us free, set us free, set us free
