I done my time
I took my ride
Strutted my stuff, did it my way
Hid myself from the light of day
Pushed, shoved, tripped an' fell
But dead men got no tales to tell
Everything I've come to know
Points me to my need for you
I've known the pain
I felt the shame
Voices talkin' soft an' loud
Too far down to be so proud
Some said somethin' 'bout ears to hear
Faith in truth becomin' clear
I been surprised
Opened my eyes
Sky came down in tears of rain
Sun came up a whole new way
God knows what an' when an' why
Think I wasn't born to die
Everything I've come to know
Points me to the fact of You
I don't know all that I need
But I think I finally see
Been so surprised
Here I'm alive
So, so surprised
I am alive
