Before you could sing
You were a song
You were the voice
The light in the dawn
Before you were here
I waited so long
Before you could sing
You were a song
When we first met
I was fourteen
Strumming six strings
'Till my fingers would bleed
Like a tree that grew
Without planting a seed
You whispered through silence
The notes I would need
Wake up, wake up, wake up
And breathe
Wake up, wake up, wake up
And breathe
Drowning in doubt and drowning in fear
You gave me a reason
To stay here
I'm a soul in a body
I'm coming back down
Inside your silence
My strength is found
Wake up, wake up, wake up
And breathe
Wake up, wake up, wake up
And breathe
Broken I stand with my life in my hands
I've waited for years
Will I meet you again
Your melody haunts me
It's said all it can
And I need you now
My only friend
Wake up, wake up, wake up
And breathe
Wake up, wake up, wake up
And breathe
Before you could sing
You were a song
You were the voice
The light in the dawn
Before you were here
I waited so long
Before you could sing
You were a song
