Written by Sheri Miller
I shall rest I’ve been down this road before
My soul feels blessed with the laying down of swords
A hundred years fighting other peoples’ wars
But now I’m free, I can breath
I used to feel the brokenness of my dreams
I’d wither up feel the closing of defeat
I dammed my river flow into a trickling stream
Still I believed, faithfully
All my fury, madness and rage
Ate into me like a fresh grave
Till I could release my driving reins
Surrender to a love that cannot be named
I scream to the heavens I’m alive, I’m alive
Walked through fire, Survived survived
World keeps spinnin’, I’m inspired, inspired
Waking up to this miracle life
I throw my hands up to the sky
See stars born in my mind’s eye
I feel your love, could almost cry
Waking up to this miracle life, Life, Life
I’ve worn the key that locked me up in chains
I’ve sold myself as a martyr, as a slave
I’ve felt like Joan of Arc, sword of Orleans raised
Charging the night, with fierce second sight
My wild desire, a stallion ahead
I rode blindfolded where I was led
Till seizin’ the wind, blowin’ his hair
I lifted on the wings of a simple prayer
I scream to the heavens I’m alive, I’m alive
Walked through fire, Survived survived
World keeps spinnin’, I’m inspired, inspired
Waking up to this miracle life
I throw my hands up to the sky
See stars born in my mind’s eye
I feel your love, could almost cry
Waking up to this miracle life, Life, Life
Angels sing in baritone
They’ll shake the earth, they’ll call me home
When my time comes I shall know
But now I’m here flesh and bone
CHORUS
