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
