Grew up
Grew up in a small town
When the rain would fall down
I’d walk inside the door
Didn’t have a reason
To keep on breathing
I was so afraid
Threw the biggest tantrums
When people didn’t come through
I didn’t know what to do
Moved around a lot
Never stayed in one spot
What was I supposed to do?
I was always angry
Could never be happy
I was so confused
Never knew where to turn to
No one ever came through
But now I turn to you
Now I’m soaring with the eagles
Lifting up my head and laughing
You changed my life
You’re the one I turn to
You are my light
I give it all up
Give it all to you
I believe in you
And everything you do
You put the sun in the sky
You’re always with me
Even when I’m sleeping
You never leave
You’re always there for me
When I’m not happy
You fixed my life
You’re the light in the night
Trusting in you
And everything that you do
You watch me fly
If it wasn’t for you
I wouldn’t know what to do
I wouldn’t be here anyway
And just to think
I almost took my life
But that all changed
Once I meet you
You saved me
You raise me
You are my hope
You are everything
That I need
You’re here for me
And that’s all I need
