Waking up to This Miracle Life (Chris Lord-Alge Radio Edit)

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

Whoa, 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
Feel your love, could almost cry
Waking up to this miracle life
Life, 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, 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
Life, life
Life, life
