Understanding What We've Grown To Be

All the lights

Were too bright to see the spark

That I've been missing for too long

Something I've been missing for too long

My empty cup

Could never fill another

I have spilled all I've had

To make things better

But the love of all others

Has made me new

My empty cup

Could never (because of you) fill another

(I am made new) I have spilled all I've had

(Because of you) to make things better (I am made new)

We've all been broken

So let us make each other new

We've all been broken

So let us make each other new

I've died inside every time I tried

To lie to myself about feeling alive, alive

I've died inside every time I tried

To lie to myself about feeling alive, alive

(I've died)

All the lights

Were too bright to see the spark

That I've been missing for too long

Something I've been missing for too long

All these distractions

Kept me from seeing what I needed all along

An understanding

I am speechless tonight

As I stare into the sky

I feel endless compassion, forgiveness, and love

I feel everyone who is looking up sharing this

I feel unexplainably alive

I need to understand what we've grown to be

Tonight, when I look into the sky

I know this is why I am alive

Tonight, when I look into the sky

I know this is why I am alive

So sing with me if you feel this feeling

Tonight, when I look into the sky

I know this is why I am alive

Tonight, when I look into the sky

I know this is why I am alive

So sing with me if you feel this feeling

I'm alive
