I'm alive

When i was locked inside my head
When i was lost in a maze of doubt
You called my name and woke me up
You called my name and led me out

And when i chased one more mirage
'til i was tired and parched again
You gave me one more cup to fill
And sent me one more desert rain

I'm alive
I'm on fire
And my spirit burns with desire
You set me alight
Bright-eyed
And with no way to hold it inside
I wanted to thank you
Thank you, thank you

I was so sure of all i knew
I knew the world was mine to claim
I had directions printed out
And then i hit a wall of shame

Out there, alone, and left to die
Cut off from you, my sole supply
You shed your tears for me, and then
You took my hand and raised me high
