Born Again
Third Day Flyleaf Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
After searching all these years
And the man that I saw, he wasn’t at all who I thought he’d be
I was lost when you found me here
And I was broken beyond repair
Then you came along and you sang your song over me
It feels like I’m born again
For the very first time
For the very first time
In my life
Make a promise to me now
Reassure my heart somehow
That the love that I feel is so much more real than anything
I’ve a feeling in my soul
And I pray that I’m not wrong
That the life I have now, it is only the beginning
It feels like I’m born again
It feels like I’m living
For the very first time
For the very first time
It feels like I’m breathing
It feels like I’m moving
For the very first time
For the very first time
I wasn’t looking for something that was more
Than what I had yesterday
Then you came to me and you gave to me
Life and a love that I’ve never known
That I’ve never felt before
It feels like I’m born again
It feels like I’m living
For the very first time
I’m living for the first time
It feels like I’m breathing
It feels like I’m moving
For the very first time
I’m living for the first time
In my life

Today I found myself
I have discovered my true identity
After searching all these years
It took me a long time to discover who I truly am
And the man that I saw, he wasn’t at all who I thought he’d be
The image I had of myself was not accurate
I was lost when you found me here
I was going through a difficult period before meeting you
And I was broken beyond repair
I was in a bad state that could not be fixed without help
Then you came along and you sang your song over me
You helped and encouraged me to rise from my broken state
It feels like I’m born again
I have been given a fresh start
It feels like I’m living
I am finally experiencing life
For the very first time
In a completely new and unique way
Make a promise to me now
Assure me of your commitment
Reassure my heart somehow
Make me believe that you truly care
That the love that I feel is so much more real than anything
The love you have shown me is beyond anything I have experienced
I’ve a feeling in my soul
I have a strong and genuine intuition
And I pray that I’m not wrong
I hope that my intuition is right
That the life I have now, it is only the beginning
What I am experiencing now is just the start
It feels like I’m breathing
I can finally take a deep breath and relax
It feels like I’m moving
I am finally making progress in life
I wasn’t looking for something that was more
I was content with what I had before
Than what I had yesterday
I was happy with my past life
Then you came to me and you gave to me
Your presence and intervention have brought so much positivity into my life
Life and a love that I’ve never known
You have introduced me to a life and love that were completely new to me
That I’ve never felt before
My emotions have completely transformed
I’m living for the first time
I am truly experiencing what it means to be alive
In my life
In everything I do and every moment that passes

This was my # 1 favorite when I was released from prison. Mainly because I had been born again and my life had been completely transformed! Thank Jesus for that! Love Flyleaf and Third day too!
