Above the Hiding

(Music: Andersen/Teran/Ackerson – Lyrics: Andersen/Ackerson)
It’s been a while, we’ve been down, now it’s time we change the score
Breath in the air, be who we are
Who would’ve thought we’d come so far?

It’s taken a while, but I’ve found that I keep on wanting it more
Never before felt so much love
Ready to live this life above the hiding

Too many times I missed the chance to be there
Crippled by fear, thinking they’d care
Living a lie, I thought the truth would leave me
Alone to hide, still I’d decide

That I’d grown tired of playing out that role
And I know this is real, something I can own

It’s been a while, we’ve been down, now it’s time we change the score
Breath in the air, be who we are
Who would’ve thought we’d come so far?

It’s taken a while, but I’ve found that I keep on wanting it more
Never before felt so much love
Ready to live this life above the hiding

Too many times I missed the chance to meet them
Gone is that time, what could’ve been mine
I made the choice to keep my feelings secret
To just behave, ‘cause I couldn’t be saved

But I’ve grown tired of playing out that role
And it’s time we live the truth, something I can own

It’s been a while, we’ve been down, now it’s time we change the score
Breath in the air, be who we are
Who would’ve thought we’d come so far?

It’s taken a while, but I’ve found that I keep on wanting it more
Never before felt so much love
Ready to live this life above the hiding

Nobody asked for this
But you choose your part
Surrender into it
And you’ll find your heart

It’s been a while, we’ve been down, now it’s time we change the score
Breath in the air, be who we are
Who would’ve thought we’d come so far?

It’s taken a while, but I’ve found that I keep on wanting it more
Never before felt so much love
Ready to live this life above the hiding
