Almost like I brought a bow and arrow to a gun fight
I'm out of my league I didn't know what this would feel like
And I can't help but feeling let down, deep in despair
Like I'm praying to a god that's not even there
Now I'm on my knees one more time
I need you, I need you to
Take my pain and make it something beautiful
Take my sorrow show me it's not mine to hold
If you're here with me in the waiting
Even when my heart is breaking
Take my pain and make it something beautiful
Something beautiful
Somehow all my suffering reveals a piece of heaven
And there's a resurrection waiting for me on the other side
But standing where I am right now, how could I know
If I'm ever gonna see another miracle
So I'm on my knees one more time
I need you, I need you to
Take my pain and make it something beautiful
Take my sorrow show me it's not mine to hold
If you're here with me in the waiting
Even when my heart is breaking
Take my pain and make it something beautiful
Something beautiful
I want more than a breakthrough
I want you, I want you
I want more than a breakthrough
I want you, I want you
I want more than a breakthrough
I want you, (I want) I want you (I want)
I want more than a breakthrough
I want you, (I want) I want you to
Take my pain and make it something beautiful (Something beautiful)
Take my sorrow show me it's not mine to hold
If you're here with me in the waiting
Even when my heart is breaking
Take my pain and make it something beautiful
Something beautiful
Ooh...
