Could’ve Been
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Walking the line between faith and doubt
Caught in the middle, I could not step out
Don't know what I waited for
I was so insecure
My feet were stuck and they would not move
Knew what they wanted but they could not do
I heard a voice in the waves
Daring me to be brave
Oh, I was waiting on a spiritual wind
Waiting for someone to say when
Almost wasted my whole life (whole life)
For what could've been, should've been, would've been
I knew I was made for more
To live every day like a new beginning
And I thank God now, that dead end is what could've been
You saved me from what could've been
I had my eye out on everyone else
I'd say: Someday I'll be there as well
I'll join the movers and shakers
Once I get a few things straight
Oh, it's crazy how the time flies
I just watched it go by
Grass was growing greener
But I was on the wrong side
Losing my way
Wishing that the world would change
Oh, I was waiting on a spiritual wind
Waiting for someone to say when
Almost wasted my whole life (whole life)
For what could've been, should've been, would've been
I knew I was made for more
To live every day like a new beginning
And I thank God now, that dead end is what could've been
Oh, I don't wanna give up
I don't wanna give in
The life that You gave me
They'll say that I lived it
I don't wanna give up
I don't wanna give in
The life that You gave me
They'll say that I lived it
Oh, I was waiting on a spiritual wind
Waiting for someone to say when
Almost wasted my whole life (whole life)
For what could've been, should've been, would've been
I knew I was made for more
To live every day like a new beginning
And I thank God now, that dead end is what could've been
You saved me from what could've been
You saved me from what could've been
You saved me from what could've been
You saved me from what could've been
You saved me from what could've been
