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
