[Verse 1] The first words I learned Were born in the absence of hope And trust wasn't something I'd ever dreamed of In the nightmare of hate But I'm learning to live in a place where [Chorus] Skies open wide (This awakening, my awakening) The night shines so clear (This awakening, my awakening) My life's taken flight There's a reason I breathe Cause my heart is the beat To the song that you sing in my life [Verse 2] The bridges I've burned Have singed every part of my soul And the smell of the blistering flame still haunts me And the smoke blinds my eyes But I won't be walking in these flames alone [Chorus] Skies open wide (This awakening, my awakening) The night shines so clear (This awakening, my awakening) My life's taken flight There's a reason I breathe Cause my heart is the beat To the song that you sing in my life [Bridge] My need for pain has slipped away My need to punish myself has crept away All since the advent of grace All since the wonder of grace My feet are leaving the ground Gravity is no longer found here [Chorus] Skies open wide (This awakening, my awakening) The night shines so clear (This awakening, my awakening) My life's taken flight There's a reason I breathe Cause my heart is the beat To the song that you sing in my life [Outro] [?]
