Lyrics Nichole Nordeman

Nichole Nordeman

Live

Did You come that we might just survive?

Did You come so we could just get by?

And 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

And 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

And You make me wanna live

You make me wanna live

You came to shake us

And to wake us up to something more

Than we'd always settled for

And You make me wanna 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

And You make me wanna live

You make me wanna live

You came to shake us

And to wake us up to something more

Than we'd always settled for

And You make me wanna live

So why would a young man live in a waste land?

When the castle of his dreams is standing by?

And why would a princess put on an old dress

To dance with her beloved and a chance to catch his eye

And You make me wanna live

You make me wanna live

You came to shake us

And to wake us up to something more

Than we'd ever felt before

Wake us up to something more

Than we'd always settled for

And You make me wanna live

You make me wanna live
