Today is ours, condemned to be free

Free to keep breathing, free to believe

I look to find You down on my knees

Oh God, I believe, please help me believe

Bridge lyrics:

And I gave it all away

And I lost who I am

I threw it all away

With everything to gain

And I'm taking the leap

With dreams of shrinking, yeah

Dreams of shrinking, yeah

Back to verse I again,

then an instrumental chorus

and fade out
