1. I wasn’t sure my life still had purpose –
The journey seemed so long and hard.
Things that I loved, people I felt close to, were so far away –
More distant every day.
Then suddenly, out of nowhere,
A cloud arose that nearly took my life.
And I really had to wonder – Yes, I really had to wonder –
If I even wanted to stick around,
For more struggle and more strife.
CHORUS 1:
But I made it through – I made it through –
Guess this is my take two.
Here in the light, after that long, lonely night,
Somehow I pulled through, So I could still be here
For you.
2. Alone in the night – so tired of that long lonely fight –
For every breath, for every minute more.
Suddenly a sight engulfed my mind, my memory –
A picture of the people that my life had been lived for.
I saw a tapestry of my loved ones –
As well as people I’d been sent to help along the way.
And as I saw their faces there, I bowed my head in prayer,
And for their sake, pled that my life might be spared another day.
CHORUS 2:
So I made it through – I made it through – Guess this is my take two.
Here in the light, after that long, lonely fight,
Somehow I pulled through, So I could be here – So I could still be here
For you.
BRIDGE:
Oh, life isn’t always easy – And it isn’t always fun –
But now I know my mission here is far from over.
There’s still so much that I need to share, And healing work to be done –
And hope to bring, and hearts to comfort, For years to come!
CHORUS 3:
I made it through – I made it through – Guess this is my take two.
Here in the light, my soul takes wing in new flight –
‘Cause somehow I pulled through, So I could be here –
So I could still be here
For you!
For… you.
