You Believed

I shouldn’t be here 

Me with my brokenness 

Me with the holes in my wounded heart 

It’s perfectly clear 

This world would never choose me 

‘Cause I’m no work of art 

I was headed down the slope 
Had used up my hope 
And that was to be the end of me 

Refrain

(But/ 'Cause) You believed 
When nobody else could see 
(Yeah) You believed 
When the whole world gave up 
I’m here because 
You believed

Unanswered prayers 
Doesn’t mean you’re forgotten 
It just means that there’s a better plan 

Buried in the dirt 
Dreams can go rotten 
'Cause even heroes lose their strength 

I’m here to testify 
To your sacrifice 
Everyone needs a second chance

(Repeat Refrain)

Bridge

You can see the whole picture 
Not just the drafts of the lame mistakes 
Every tree that flowers 
Needs to grow from the dirt of 
All that has come before

(Repeat Refrain)

You believed 
When nobody else could see 
You believed 
When the whole world gave up 
I’m here because 
You believed
