For The First Time

There's a different sunrise
It's a different world
In a way I feel like
I have just begun
Like I don't remember
Waking up from a dream
All my chains are broken
And I feel so free
I can breathe for the first time
I can see for the first time
It's like you opened my eyes
I can feel my heart is coming alive
I'm coming alive
I can breathe for the first time
Once a life imprisoned
I was locked in the past
Now your love has given
Given one more chance
Once my light was fading
But you gave me yours
Now my world is brighter
Than it was before
I can breathe for the first time
I can see for the first time
It's like you opened my eyes
I can feel my heart is coming alive
I'm coming alive
I can breathe for the first time
I've never run so far
I've never felt so strong
When I am where you are
I've found where I belong
I can breathe for the first time
I can see for the first time
It's like you opened my eyes
I can feel my heart is coming alive
I'm coming alive
I can breathe for the first time
