This is What it Means
I've built some dreams
I've held them close
Celebrated perfect days
I lost the one I loved the most
Now she's six feet of earth away
I've cried 'til I thought I couldn't stop
And I've laughed until it hurt
And I've prayed in an empty parking lot
And my friends were my church
Sometimes the joy can give you wings to fly
Sometimes the pain will cut you so just like a knife
There's fear, there's faith, there's loss, there's grace
I've seen it from both sides
This is what it means to be alive, alive
This is what it means to be alive
I've seen the face of have to have
Of a child without a home
A casualty of circumstance
Written off and all alone
I've cried for the wars that they've been through
And I've walked by their side
I've watched what the power of love can do
And how it changes lives
Sometimes the joy can give you wings to fly
Sometimes the pain will cut you so just like a knife
There's fear, there's faith, there's loss, there's grace
I've seen it from both sides
This is what it means to be alive, alive
This is what it means to be alive
This is what it means, this is what it means
This is what it means to be alive, alive
This is what it means, yeah
Sometimes the joy can give you wings to fly
Sometimes the pain will cut you so just like a knife
There's fear, there's faith, there's loss, there's grace
I've seen it from both sides
This is what it means to be alive
I've held them close
Celebrated perfect days
I lost the one I loved the most
Now she's six feet of earth away
I've cried 'til I thought I couldn't stop
And I've laughed until it hurt
And I've prayed in an empty parking lot
And my friends were my church
Sometimes the joy can give you wings to fly
Sometimes the pain will cut you so just like a knife
There's fear, there's faith, there's loss, there's grace
I've seen it from both sides
This is what it means to be alive, alive
This is what it means to be alive
I've seen the face of have to have
Of a child without a home
A casualty of circumstance
Written off and all alone
I've cried for the wars that they've been through
And I've walked by their side
I've watched what the power of love can do
And how it changes lives
Sometimes the joy can give you wings to fly
Sometimes the pain will cut you so just like a knife
There's fear, there's faith, there's loss, there's grace
I've seen it from both sides
This is what it means to be alive, alive
This is what it means to be alive
This is what it means, this is what it means
This is what it means to be alive, alive
This is what it means, yeah
Sometimes the joy can give you wings to fly
Sometimes the pain will cut you so just like a knife
There's fear, there's faith, there's loss, there's grace
I've seen it from both sides
This is what it means to be alive
