Sunrise
You brought the sun into my dark night
Wide-eyed
You brought the color to my black and white
Ooooo, oo-ooo-oo, ooooo
Feel like I'm living for the first time
Ooooo, oo-ooo-oo, ooooo
And now I'm dancing in Your light
This is what freedom feels like
This is what freedom feels like
This is what freedom feels like
This is what freedom feels like, feels like
Landslide
Your love came crashing into my life, ooo-ooo
High tide
Your grace is washing every wrong right
Ooooo, oo-ooo-oo, ooooo
Feel like I'm living for the first time
Ooooo, oo-ooo-oo, ooooo
And now I'm dancing in Your light
This is what freedom feels like
This is what freedom feels like
This is what freedom feels like
This is what freedom feels like, feels like
I was lost and Your love came to find me
I was blind 'til You showed me my victory
I was bound and You set me free
Now I'm alive, I'm alive
This is what freedom feels like
This is what freedom feels like
Ohh, this is what freedom feels like
This is what freedom
This is what freedom!... feels like
This is what freedom feels like
This is what freedom feels like
This is what freedom feels like, feels like
This is what freedom feels like
This is what freedom feels like
This is what freedom (feels like)
This is what freedom
This is what freedom (feels like)
Ohh, ohh
That's what freedom feels like
