Lyrics
You were thinking you were the weak one
cuz for a little while you didn't know what to do
you were thinking you were the weak one
cuz for a little while the waves were crashing over you
(Refrain)
You didn't know what was coming to save you
you didn't know what was coming to set your spirit free
you couldn't see it then it was all too disturbing
but now you see it clearer
it's coming home to you
You were only thinking you were always going backwards
retracing every step you'd already taken along the way
and you wanted to know if anything would ever get clearer
one thing you knew for sure there must be a better way
(Repeat Refrain)
You wondered if anything would ever fall together
you only saw the pieces all scattered on the ground
would you find the strength to pick it up
and put it all together
knowing you have all the power
all the power you need right now
(Repeat Refrain)
