Andy Mineo - Formerly Known lyrics

Yeah Everybody wanna be heard. Everybody wanna be seen. Everybody wanna be known, and everybody got some dreams We wanna be understood, not overlooked And when we fall, who gon' carry (Carrie) us? Underwood. We need love and affection, time and attention Affirmation, acceptance, someone to give direction Set apart from the rest and we wanna stand distinguished And be The Cool Kid like they're Chuck Inglish Been on a quest for this, ever since Genesis But settling for fools gold, instead of what the treasure is Chasing after Numbers yo, this must have been our Exodus We don't want no Jesus 'less He's chillin' on our necklaces Formerly known, way before the moment I was born I'm not an accident or a clone, yeah The One that made me gave me purpose Now I don't gotta go on searching Formerly known, way before the moment I was born I'm not an accident all alone, yeah The One that made me, gave me purpose Now I don't gotta go on searching Formerly Known Yeah, whoo, what you lookin' at now, not what I always been I ain't braggin' on my past, but buddy I was trapped in sin No power in myself, to overcome my flesh I bought clothes to get undressed, but God revealed my nakedness A hostile enemy, speech was all venom-y Jesus was a nice guy, but wasn't no friend of me My lips said I loved Him, my actions despised His reign I had my own agenda, I was my own king Then He came, I was changed by grace through faith Every dollar that I owed it was payed, payed, payed, payed Sin bill was something I couldn't pick up Now I got my hands raised high like a stickup He know me even better than I know myself Every hair on my head, every need I felt So before I'm gone, gotta get to know Him C-Lite no more but the light still on Formerly known, way before the moment I was born I'm not an accident or a clone, yeah The One that made me, gave me purpose Now I don't gotta go on searching Formerly known, way before the moment I was born I'm not an accident all alone, yeah The One that made me gave me purpose Now I don't gotta go on searching Formerly Known Before I'm gone, gotta get to know Him C-Lite no more but the Light still on Formerly known, way before the moment I was born I'm not an accident or a clone, yeah The One that made me gave me purpose Now I don't gotta go on searching Formerly Known
