We Were Meant to Be
How'd we drift so far apart?
Oh, God it breaks our hearts
We can hear heavens tears cry
For wasted years
The time for change is now
Can you hear us calling out?
We were meant to be
A city on a hill
Shine like the stars in the sky
We were meant to live
For more than this world
So open our eyes to see
What we were meant to be
What we were meant to be
Even in the darkest place
We'll stand
We're not ashamed
When fear and doubt
Try to hold us down
We'll stand
We're not afraid
The time for change is now
We can hear you calling out
We were meant to be
A city on a hill
Shine like the stars in the sky
We were meant to live
For more than this world
So open our eyes to see
What we were meant to be
What we were meant to be
Start a brush fire in my soul
A flame that won't die, won't grow cold
Let it burn
Let it burn
Start a brush fire in my soul
A flame that won't die, won't grow cold
Let it burn for You
We were meant to be
A city on a hill
Shine like the stars in the sky
We were meant to live
For more than this world
So open our eyes to see
We were meant to be
A city on a hill
Shine like the stars in the sky
We were meant to live
For more than this world
So open our eyes to see
What we were meant to be
What we were meant to be
What we were meant to be
What we were meant to be
Oh, God it breaks our hearts
We can hear heavens tears cry
For wasted years
The time for change is now
Can you hear us calling out?
We were meant to be
A city on a hill
Shine like the stars in the sky
We were meant to live
For more than this world
So open our eyes to see
What we were meant to be
What we were meant to be
Even in the darkest place
We'll stand
We're not ashamed
When fear and doubt
Try to hold us down
We'll stand
We're not afraid
The time for change is now
We can hear you calling out
We were meant to be
A city on a hill
Shine like the stars in the sky
We were meant to live
For more than this world
So open our eyes to see
What we were meant to be
What we were meant to be
Start a brush fire in my soul
A flame that won't die, won't grow cold
Let it burn
Let it burn
Start a brush fire in my soul
A flame that won't die, won't grow cold
Let it burn for You
We were meant to be
A city on a hill
Shine like the stars in the sky
We were meant to live
For more than this world
So open our eyes to see
We were meant to be
A city on a hill
Shine like the stars in the sky
We were meant to live
For more than this world
So open our eyes to see
What we were meant to be
What we were meant to be
What we were meant to be
What we were meant to be
