Moving Forward

I found life and I found laughter
 In forgiveness, I found rest
 On the shoulders of redemption
 I found hope when hope was dead
 I could lose it in a moment
 So I dare not close my eyes
 I'll watch fear fall with the sunset
 And see hope rise with the tide
 And when the pain is true
 Sometimes these troubles prove that I'm alive
 My eyes are open, my heart is beating
 My lungs are full and my body's breathing
 I'm moving forward, I found my freedom
 I found the life that gave me reason to live
 ♪
 As this dusty road now settles
 And I see what lay before (see what lay before)
 Every tear that held a broken dream
 Is now shattered on the floor
 And now bursting forth in splendor
 Are the blossoms of second tries
 Because dreams that bear the mark of love
 Are dreams that never die, ohh
 ♪
 Sometimes
 Life can feel so unkind
 Sorrow won't define me
 Sorrow just reminds my soul
 My soul
 My eyes are open, my heart is beating
 My lungs are full and my body's breathing
 I'm moving forward, I found my freedom
 I know this sorrow, I know the heartache
 I know with fear comes a tragic heartbreak
 But I'm moving forward, I've found my freedom
 I've found the life that gave the reason to love
