The Reprise

Every step finds ground beneath my feet

I can't believe I've come this far

I've found out I'm so much more with you

I've been found in who you are

I've been feeling lately

Your pierced skin has been stating

Everything you've wanted to say

Your words are far above me

Teach me how you love me like you do

So I can love like you

My soul clings to you

My lips sing for you

[x2]

I am learning I can always stand

When you strengthen me

I am held up by a single strand

Stronger than I could ever be

I am lifting empty hands

Just to hold your holy hands

There's meaning in your fingertips

And purpose in your eyes

This is where I'm finding out

What this life is all about

While sitting at your feet

My soul clings to you

My lips sing for you

[x4]

I believe

This life can mean something

We are intended

Not left stranded

We can comprehend this

We can be sure of ourselves

We can see

And know where right we stand

We can grow up strong (and brought along)

To where we belong

Leave the past on the shelf

May we taste your words

May we end our search

Mat we know your love

Mat we feel our worth

Hope is, hope is, hope is…
