Because You Live

Chorus

By the way it was my father

Who gave me my life

Made me who I am

In the light

By the way it was my father

Who gave me my life

And I'm happy being myself

I don't want to be

Anybody else but me

I just want to be me

Verse 1

Opening my eyes

So I can finally see you

Awake to the sunrise

With a spirit that is new

Searching for a signal

Listening for a sound

Keeping it all simple

Walking on this holy ground

Pre-Chorus

God open my ears

The message is clear

Everything I hear

Casts away the fear

Chorus

By the way it was my father

Who gave me my life

Made me who I am

In the light

By the way it was my father

Who gave me my life

And I'm happy being myself

I don't want to be

Anybody else but me

I just want to be me

Verse 2

I will follow your rules

And I promise not to sin

Don't want to be no fool

Let the better days begin

You died on the cross

For every mistake I made

You covered the cost

Now the debt is fully paid

Pre-Chorus

You hold the future

Because you live

Healer and suturer

All you do is give

Chorus

By the way it was my father

Who gave me my life

Made me who I am

In the light

By the way it was my father

Who gave me my life

And I'm happy being myself

I don't want to be

Anybody else but me

I just want to be me

Bridge

Because you live

I can face the morning

Because you live

I see the new day dawning

Hold the future in your hand

Just exactly like you planned

By the way

By the way

Chorus

By the way it was my father

Who gave me my life

Made me who I am

In the light

By the way it was my father

Who gave me my life

And I'm happy being myself

I don't want to be

Anybody else but me

I just want to be me
