She feels lost in her own life
Treading water just to keep from slipping under
And she wonders if she's where she's supposed to be

Tired of trying to do it right
Her dreams are just to far away to see how steps she's making
Might be taking her to who she'll be

And suddenly it isn't what it used to be
And after all this time it worked out just fine
And suddenly I am where I'm supposed to be
And after all the tears I was supposed to be here

She feels locked in her own life
Scared of what she might lose if she moves away from who she was
And she's afraid of being free

There's a way she knows is right
She can't feel the things she knows
And so each step she's taking is a step of faith toward who she'll be

And suddenly it isn't what it used to be
And after all this time it worked out just fine
And suddenly I am where I'm supposed to be
And after all the tears I was supposed to be here

And here where the night is dark
It's black
She feels the fear
And the light is farthest back
And through her tears
She can't see the dawn is coming
Skies will clear
And the light will find her where she's always been

And suddenly it isn't what it used to be
And after all this time it worked out just fine
And suddenly I am where I'm supposed to be
And after all the tears I was supposed to be here
