Today I found myself
After searching all these years
And the man that I saw, he wasn’t at all who I thought he’d be
I was lost when you found me here
And I was broken beyond repair
Then you came along and you sang your song over me

It feels like I’m born again
It feels like I’m living
For the very first time
For the very first time
In my life

Make a promise to me now
Reassure my heart somehow
That the love that I feel is so much more real than anything
I’ve a feeling in my soul
And I pray that I’m not wrong
That the life I have now, it is only the beginning

It feels like I’m born again
It feels like I’m living
For the very first time
For the very first time
It feels like I’m breathing
It feels like I’m moving
For the very first time
For the very first time

I wasn’t looking for something that was more
Than what I had yesterday
Then you came to me and you gave to me
Life and a love that I’ve never known
That I’ve never felt before

It feels like I’m born again
It feels like I’m living
For the very first time
I’m living for the first time
It feels like I’m breathing
It feels like I’m moving
For the very first time
I’m living for the first time
In my life

Behind the Song:
“I was doing some chores at home. I was sitting down on the floor folding laundry and I had that song in my head. All of a sudden it just came out--a full first verse literally. It wasn’t like I said a line and worked out a few other lines, it literally just came out. I just spoke it and sang it and it scared me because that never happens. So I got up and I was running around the house, throwing stuff everywhere looking for a pen and a piece of paper and [my wife] Amy says, ‘What are you doing?’ and I said, ‘I’ve got this song and I’ve got to write it down right now.’” – Mac Powell (Third Day)

“That’s a very Christian expression, ‘born again,’ but it’s become a cliché also, but this song, like “Revelation”, sort of digs beneath the cliché. It’s actually what born again is supposed to mean, that experience and that feeling of getting a fresh start. What a great sentiment! I think that’s a sentiment and a feeling that people need to experience.” – Tai Anderson (Third Day)
