Waking up to This Miracle Life

I shall rest, I've been down this road before
My soul feels blessed with the laying down of swords
A hundred years fighting other peoples' wars
But now I'm free, I can breathe, oh-oh-oh

I used to feel the brokenness of my dreams
I'd wither up, feel the closing of defeat
I dammed my river flow into a trickling stream
Still I believed, faithfully, oh-oh

All my fury, madness and rage
Ate into me like a fresh grave
'Til' I could release my driving reins
Surrender to a love that cannot be named

And I scream to the heavens I'm alive, I'm alive
Walked through fire, survived, survived
World keeps spinnin', I'm inspired, inspired
Waking up to this miracle life

I throw my hands up to the sky
See stars born in my mind's eye
I feel your love, could almost cry
Waking up to this miracle life

Life, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, life
Life, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, life

I've worn the key that locked me up in chains
I've sold myself as a martyr, as a slave
I've felt like Joan of Arc, sword of Orleans raised
Charging the night, with fierce second sight

Yeah, my wild desire, a stallion ahead
I rode blindfolded where I was led
'Til seizin' the wind, blowin' his hair
I lifted on the wings of a simple prayer

And I scream to the heavens I'm alive, I'm alive
Walked through fire, survived, survived
World keeps spinnin', I'm inspired, inspired
Waking up to this miracle life

I throw my hands up to the sky
See stars born in my mind's eye
Feel your love, could almost cry
Waking up to this miracle life

Life, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, life
Life, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, life

The angels sing in baritone
They'll shake the earth, they'll call me home
When my time comes, I shall know
Now I'm here flesh and bone

And I scream to the heavens I'm alive, I'm alive
Walked through fire, survived, survived
World keeps spinnin', I'm inspired, inspired
Waking up to this miracle life

I scream to the heavens I'm alive, I'm alive
Walked through fire, survived, survived
World keeps spinnin', I'm inspired, inspired
Waking up to this miracle life

I throw my hands up to the sky
See stars born in my mind's eye
Feel your love, could almost cry
Waking up to this miracle life

Life, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, life
Life, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, life
Life, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, life
Life, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, life
