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

Here and now
And now and now
And now and now
And now and now
And now and now

Here and now
And now and now
And now and now
And now and now

Here I am, you made it all so clear
I understand, I am just a stranger here
I leave it all behind
All that’s left is gone
And I know about my mind
Straight into your arms

Here and now we will stand with one voice hand in hand

Never thought it would be me
Living in a shattered dream
How could this be in for me?
What I wouldn't give to have
A life to live, a day to plan
Instead I'll be forever seventeen

Could have lived out every dream
I could have been most anything

Can someone wake me up?
I haven't lived yet
I'm only seventeen
God, did you forget?
I'm just a baby
And I don't wanna be
Forever seventeen

I led a lonesome journey
Full of disdain and fury
I kept my angered yearning
Close to me like fire burning
I watched a million chances
Slip through my weathered hands
I almost lost myself when I looked around
There was nobody else

Chorus:
In the nick of time
You opened up my mind
And suddenly I saw the world much clearer
In the nick of time
You turned my water to wine

He made you feel plain
When he forgot your name
Well let me tell you something,
I have felt the same.
I know you're in pain
But there'll be another Boy along the way and
God he made you beautiful and
There's nothing about you thats plain.

CHORUS
You are jewel you're a treasure
You are one of a kind
And you shine just as bright
As the stars in the sky

Woke up this morning, went to the window, saw a rainy day
Feeling the pressure from all of the things I gotta face today
All of my days are totally crazy
Can't do nothing right
It's an ordinary day

Every minute feels like am hour slowly creeping by
All of this stress, but I do my best to take it all in stride
I need to decidde need to unwind all these things are on my mind

Chorus-
Can you try to hide what's in your heart
What's on your mind
Can you carry on like nothing's wrong
Go on and on?
Are you sure about that?

You've been pushed, you've been shoved
You've been left and unloved
Oh, why do you stay
So many tears that you cry every night
But ya know your life doesnt have to be this way
But you've got hurts deep inside you feel

Ooh...

You've come this far by yourself
Faced the world on your own
No one heard your cries for help
You thought you were all alone
I've got a different story to tell you
'Cause I've been there before
I know you feel so much
But there is so much more

You could wait
But there may not be tomorrow
Can you take
A minute just to listen and to let it go

This is the time
This is the place

How many times have you tried to pull one over on me?
Always mess with me and try to get the best of me
Lookin' back, all the pain that you put me through
Why would i fall for a fool like you?
Now you're talkin' like I've never played the game before
Save your empty words 'cause I don't wanna hear no more
Basically you're trying to take control of me
But you're not what i wanna be

Stranded in the middle of a hurricane
I've got an umbrella but nowhere to stay
Do I give up now or do I face the cold
I better get some boldness
Looking to the left I see it coming
I'm alone and I'm scared and it's heading my way
Do I run
Do I hide
Do I dare close my eyes
Do I face the fear inside

Time after time
Lord I'll keep running back to You
Keep running back to You

Zzzz Oooo Eeee Ggggg Iiii Rrrr Llll, Zoe Girl, Zoe Girl, Life, Life, Not just life, eternal life

You know I can't explain this feeling
It's almost like I'm dreaming this reality
You know You give me such a freedom
I finally found the way home
I'm right where I belong
Ever since the day I prayed
You into my heart I placed
Every bit of me into Your hands
Lord, I'm here to stay

Stop

Take a minute take a breath,

From the pressure that we need to know why,

What makes you ali-i-i-ive

Why,

Rely on ourselves

Putting God up on a shelf we depend,

On what's left in our heads

It feels right and we believe,

There won't be no sudden leave

But we keep running faster

Isn't it so nice to think,

If we live in harmony

There'd be a happy ever after
