Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

I woke up in darkness surrounded by silence

Oh where, where have I gone?

I woke to reality losing its grip on me

Oh where, where have I gone?


'Cause I can see the light before I see the sunrise


You called and You shouted

Broke through my deafness

Now I'm breathing in and breathing out

I'm alive again


You shattered my darkness

Washed away my blindness

Now I'm breathing in and breathing out

I'm alive again


Late have I loved You

You waited for me

I searched for You

What took me so long?


I was looking outside

As if love would ever want to hide

I'm finding I was wrong


'Cause I could feel the wind before it hits my skin


You called and You shouted

Broke through my deafness

Now I'm breathing in and breathing out

I'm alive again


You shattered my darkness

Washed away my blindness

Now I'm breathing in and breathing out

I'm alive again, I'm alive again


'Cause I want You, yes, I want You, I need You

And I'll do whatever I have to just to get through

'Cause I love You, yeah, I love You


You called and You shouted

Broke through my deafness

Now I'm breathing in and breathing out

I'm alive again


You shattered my darkness

Washed away my blindness

Now I'm breathing in and breathing out

I'm alive again
