| I found life and I found laughter. |
| In forgiveness, I found rest. |
| On the shoulders of redemption, |
| I found hope when hope was dead. |
| I could lose it in a moment, |
| so I dare not close my eyes. |
| I’ll watch fear fall with the sunset |
| and see hope rise with the tide. |
| And when the pain is true, |
| sometimes these troubles prove that I’m alive. |
| My eyes are open, |
| my heart is beating, |
| my lungs are full, |
| and my body’s breathing. |
| I’m moving forward. |
| I found my freedom. |
| I found the life that gave me reason to live. |
| As this dusty road now settles |
| and I see what lay before, |
| every tear that held a broken dream |
| Is now shattered on the floor. |
| And now bursting forth in splendor |
| are the blossoms of second tries |
| because dreams that bear the mark of love |
| are dreams that never die. |
| Sometimes |
| life can feel so unkind. |
| Sorrow won’t define me |
| So just reminds my soul. |
| My soul |
| My eyes are open, |
| my heart is beating, |
| my lungs are full, |
| and my body’s breathing. |
| I’m moving forward. |
| I found my freedom. |
| I know this sorrow. |
| I know the heartache. |
| I know with fear comes a tragic heartbreak. |
| Well I’m moving forward. |
| I found my freedom. |
| I found the life that gave the reason to love. |
