When the dying's over
When the last tear falls
When the empty wells overflow
To fill us all
Redemption
We'll see it with our very own eyes
Very own eyes and we'll realize
We're alive for the very first time
The very first time
Burdens we have carried
Melt away like snow
Loved ones gone before us
Welcome us home
Redemption
We'll see it with our very own eyes
Very own eyes and we'll realize
We're alive for the very first time
The very first time
Someday we will remember how to fly
Then we will rise like embers burning bright
Everything broken will be whole again
We are the ransomed
We are the redeemed
We are the bride
And shall forever be
Loved from the start without end
It will not end
Redemption
We'll see it with our very own eyes
Very own eyes and we'll realize
We're alive for the very first time
The very first
Redemption
We'll see it with our very own eyes
Very own eyes and we'll realize
We're alive for the very first time
The very first time
