I never liked surrender.
Thought I had the answers.
Too proud to ask for help.
But you knew that my heart was dark like December,
Cold like the winter,
Until you pulled me to yourself.

I was just out there searching
Wasting my time believing
I could be all I needed
A prisoner of my own war
Then you showed me your glory
Wrote me a brand new story
Love was right there before me
What was I fighting for?
What was I fighting for?

Thank you for mercy.
I'm so undeserving.
You could have left me on my own,
Stubborn and alone.
But that isn't like you,
Yeah you do what you do,
You bring your people home.

I was just out there searching,
Wasting my time believing,
I could be all I needed,
A prisoner of my own war.
Then you showed me your glory,
Wrote me a brand new story
Love was right there before me.
What was I fighting for?
What was I fighting for?

The moment I gave you my heart was the moment I started living for the first time.
The day that you lifted my eyes was the day I came alive, I came alive!

I was just out there searching,
Wasting my time believing,
I could be all I needed,
A prisoner of my own war.
Then you showed me your glory,
Wrote me a brand new story,
Love was right there before me.
What was I fighting for?
