I spent years skipping over tomorrow
Drowning my sorrow

Pushing people away
I couldn't slow down

With no one to turn to

I fell on my face
And there in the silence
Am
In holy defiance

I lost my life
Trying to find it
G
But you lost yours for the sake of me
Carried my weakness
Am
Faced all my demons
Lifted me up

Put me back on my feet
Filled my lungs with the breath of Heaven
G
Gave my soul a second chance
Am
To take on the darkness and tear it apart with
Em
The weapon of love as my only defense
