Everyday is a new day
I'm thankful for every breath I take
I won't take it for granted
So I learn from my mistakes

It's beyond my control, sometimes it's best to let go
Whatever happens in this lifetime
So I trust in love
You have given me peace of mind

I feel so alive for the very first time
I can't deny you
I feel so alive
I feel so alive for the very first time
And I think I can fly

Sunshine upon my face
A new song for me to sing
Tell the world how I feel inside
Even though it might cost me everything

Now that I know this, so beyond, I can't hold this
I can never turn my back away
Now that I've seen you
I can never look away

I feel so alive for the very first time
I can't deny you
I feel so alive
I feel so alive for the very first time
And I think I can fly

Now that I know you (I could never turn my back away)
Now that I see you (I could never look away)
Now that I know you (I could never turn my back away)
Now that I see you (I believe no matter what they say)

I feel so alive for the very first time
I can't deny you
I feel so alive
I feel so alive for the very first time
And I think I can fly

I feel so alive for the very first time
I can't deny you
I feel so alive
I feel so alive for the very first time
And I think I can fly

Everyday is a new day
I'm thankful for every breath I take
I won't take it for granted (I won't take it for granted)
So I learn from my mistakes
It's beyond my control sometimes it's best to let go,
Whatever happens in this lifetime
So I trust in love (so I trust in love)
You have given me peace of mind

I, I feel so alive
For the very first time
I can't deny you
I feel so alive
I, I feel so alive (so alive)
For the very first time (for the very first time)
And I think I can fly

Sunshine upon my face (sunshine upon my face)
A new song for me to sing
Tell the world how I feel inside
Even though it might cost me everything
Now that I know this is beyond my control
'Cause I could never turn my back away
Now that I see you (now that I see you)
I can never look away

I, I feel so alive
For the very first time
I can't deny you
I feel so alive
I, I feel so alive (so alive)
For the very first time (for the very first time)
And I think I can fly

Now that I know you
I could never turn my back away
And now that I see you
I could never look away
And now that I know you
I could never turn my back away
And now that I see you
I believe no matter what they say

I, I feel so alive
For the very first time
I can't deny you
I feel so alive
I, I feel so alive (so alive)
For the very first time (for the very first time)
And I think I can fly
I, I feel so alive (so alive)
For the very first time (for the very first time)
And I think I can fly
I, I feel so alive (so alive)
For the very first time (for the very first time)
And I think I can fly
And I think I can fly
And I think I can fly

@Hidden In anxiety Payable On Death, idk since they saved me from it, i have to consider that irony, but if you want a story my ironic friend, my dad lost his wives to men named john, who had an only child named john, the irony is my dads best mate's name is Jonathon Rogers, a George cross recipient, sadly anytime my dad hears the name john/jon he thinks of what they have, instead of the awesome person we all lost RIP Jonathon "Buck" Rogers, Burial Ground Jervis Bay NSW coast.

Haha.. same, just turned 37, this was a great jam in high school. I walked away from God, was agnostic after college for over 10 years, and I"ve finally come to understand creationism and the Christian God is the mind behind the universe, all possibility, and everything we think. I dare everyone to start living with new purpose and give your life to Christ

Let's Talk Christ—Christian Channel

@Hidden In anxiety He does exist. If you want to ignore moral absolutes, blatant intelligent design, archeology findings that continue to confirm the God of the Bible, logic, and science, be my guess. But it takes more faith to NOT believe God doesn't exist.

J. Russell

@JamesRMcFarland God bless you, brother.

Jennifer Johnson

5w↑1

@Hidden In anxiety it’s a common myth that God allows bad things to happen. God made the world and everyone here and He gave mankind free will. He does not interfere in free will. He allows man to make his or her own choices and as long as man is given free will, man can choose to do good or evil. Sure He can bend man to serve Him but He feels we have to either choose to or not. Evil continues to flourish when man chooses to do evil and man chooses to just watch and do nothing about it instead of being proactive and change things.

I sincerely hope you can get peace in your life and wish you well.

Jennifer Johnson

@Hidden In anxiety I’m curious, not judging. What has happened to you to make you believe there is no God? Again, I’m not judging-just trying to understand.

Member how this band was super popular and then people found out they were Christian rock and reacted like they were given sugar-free candy?

RedRusty66

cause people hate finding out they are supporting that crap in stealth mode without being told, IF that is what it is. If it's open to interpretation and not pushing some one track agenda then no problem. I don't see it as a xian song, but then the comments tell me different so I have to pause.
