Live

Live - Nichole Nordeman

Did you come that we might just survive

Did you come so we could just get by

Did you walk among us

So we might merely limp along beside

I was bound I have been set free

But I have settled for apathy

Did you come to make me new

And know I'd crawl right back into the skin you

Found me in

It's where I am not where I've been

You make me want to live

You make me want to live

You came to shake us

And to wake us up to something more

Than we'd always settled for

And you make me want to live

We've all been up on the mountain top

A golden glow that's bound to soon wear off

Then it's back to the mundane telling tales of glory

Days

When we were hopeful that this change was here to

Stay

You make me want to live

You make me want to live

You came to shake us

And to wake us up to something more

Than we'd always settled for

And you make me want to live

So why would a young man

Live in a waste land

When the castle of his dreams is standing by

Why would a princess

Put on an old dress

To dance with her beloved and a chance to catch

His eye

You make me want to live

You make me want to live

You came to shake us

And to wake us up to something more

Than we'd always settled for

And to wake us up to something more

Than we'd always settled for

And you make me want to live

And you make me want to live
