We wear it on our face
We keep up with the pace and don’t slow down
But perfection without grace
Is such a lonely place to be found
We go ‘round and ‘round and never really move at all

Oh, we are bruised and destined to lose doing this alone
Oh, let it fall and cover us all – this grace that’s not our own

See it in our eyes
We’re running for the prize, don’t burn out
But without a hand to hold
We’ll never really know what life’s about
We go ‘round and ‘round and never really move at all

Let’s live like we’re alive
We’ll take the pain in stride
We’ll learn from our mistakes and be glad we ever tried
Let’s live like we’re alive
Live like we’re alive and run with him into the night!

Behind the Song:
“We always put on a tough exterior and fool people into believing that we are ok. The truth is, we need God's help and the help of others to move forward. No one was meant to live this life alone.” – Josh Pearson (Nevertheless)
