Bernie Herms - This is What It Means lyrics

I've built some dreams I've held them close Celebrated perfect days I lost the one i loved the most Now she's 6 feet of earth away I've cried til I thought I couldn't stop And I've laughed until it hurt And I've prayed in an empty parking lot And my friends were my church Sometimes the joy can give you wings to fly Sometimes the pain will cut you so just like a knife There's fear, there's faith, there's loss, there's grace I've seen it from both sides This is what it means to be alive, alive This is what it means to be alive I've seen the face of have to have Of a child without a home A casualty of circumstance Written off and all alone I've cried for the wars that they've been through And i've walked by their side I've watched what the power of love can do And how it changes lives Sometimes the joy can give you wings to fly Sometimes the pain will cut you so just like a knife There's fear, there's faith, there's loss, there's grace I've seen it from both sides This is what it means to be alive, alive This is what it means to be alive This is what it means, this is what it means, this is what it means to be alive, alive This is what it means, yeah Sometimes the joy can give you wings to fly Sometimes the pain will cut you so just like a knife There's fear, there's faith, there's loss, there's grace I've seen it from both sides This is what it means to be alive
