|
They called you a failure, they called you a lost cause |
|
They said you would never become anything at all |
|
A generation with no direction |
|
But when I look in your eyes |
|
I see the prize yet to be claimed |
|
[Chorus] |
|
I'll say it once, I'll say it twice |
|
That your life was worth the price |
|
Paid for you, paid for me |
|
And I believe that in you and I know you'll find the truth |
|
I know you've been broken, 'cause I've seen the abuse |
|
I know there's a place inside your heart |
|
Begging for truth |
|
For a softspoken answer that won't break your spirit |
|
And when I look in your eyes |
|
I see the prize that's yet to be claimed |
|
repeat chorus |
|
But that's not what they told you |
|
When they said that they gave up on you |
|
And you're nothing, and you'll never be anything |
|
I wait for the day when you'll stand up and say |
|
I can do all things through Him who strengthens me |
|
repeat chorus |
