its like rain, washin away my pain
chalk on the sidewalk, stories of yesterday
when were still young but the lights had just begun to shine
she put out my flame like it was all a game
and i cried deep inside as she turned
and walked away from me
who knew that good could come from things that should
tear a boy to the core, it took 14 years to
build a man out of that dust, it must be
grace so amazing i cant see
how much my god loves me
its like rain, washing away my fears
no more fighting what they think of me cause i dont care
confidence is what they want but its a catch 22 cause i cant talk
i got a cat on my tounge and i cant speak
nothings coming out cause it dont reach my mouth
im tired of this game, i am not the same
i gotta be myself and not hide my soul in shame
who knew that good could come from things that should
tear a boy to the core, it took 14 years to
build a man out of that dust, it must be
grace so amazing i cant see
how much my god loves me
it took 14 years to build me up and build me strong
who knew, who knew it would take this long
its like rain, washing away my sin
blood on the door post of this house im living in
death is gonna pass me by, because of him im justified
this i want to testify, i'm his
he rose to fame without playing our game
and then he cried deep inside as he watched us turn and
walk away from him
who knew that good could, come from things that should
tear a man to the bone, it took 33 years to
finish his plan, that started from birth,
from the cross, to the grave, and he rose again
and then he left this earth
it took 33 years to walk that road
and then he died for me and you
how great a love he showed
