Nichole Nordeman - Live lyrics

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 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

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?
