This Life
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.
This is not my home
(This is not my space)
This is not my style
(This is notmy place)
Can't get comfortable
(Can't get settled in)
Simply dont belong
(Can't get used to this)
But I'm here right now
(I can hear you say)
Make the most of me
(This wont go to waste)
If I'm out of my mind
(Yeah, it's all for christ)
If I'm making sense
(Then get it right)
Every moment is a chance
To let your light break through
This life (oh, oh, oh, oh)
This life was meant to shine
This life (oh, oh, oh, oh)
This life was meant to shine
I dont have to stall
(I dont have to wait)
Dont have to bide my time
(Till' I make my escape)
Cuz heavans in my heart
(I wont settle for less)
I will lift your name
(By the life I live)
Every moment is a chance
To let your light break through
This life (oh, oh, oh, oh)
This life was meant to shine
This life (oh, oh, oh, oh)
This life was meant to shine
Its in my heart
Its in my soul
Ill live everday
Just to make you known
Cuz this life (oh, oh, oh, oh)
This life was meant to
Meant to shine
Hold your heads up high
This is our moment to rise
We were meant to shine
Not just survive
Hold your heads up high
This is our moment to rise
We were meant to shine
Not just survive
This life(oh, oh, oh, oh)
This life was meant to shine
This life (oh, oh, oh, oh)
This life was meant to shine
Its in my heart
Its in my soul
Ill live everday
Just to make you known
Cuz this life (oh, oh, oh, oh)
This life was meant to
Meant to shine
Its in my heart
Its in my soul
Ill live everday
Just to make you known
Cuz this life (oh, oh, oh, oh)
This life was meant to
Meant to shine
Oh, oh, oh, oh
We were meant to shine!
