Lyrics

All my (B)life,

Spent my (B)nights

When the (C#m7)wait ing would end,

and to (A)mor row would start.

(E)Sud den ly (B)I see the light.

(E)Out of the (B)dark ness, I’m (F#)com in’ a live.

So (D)this is how it feels,

(D)reach in’ for heav (A)en.

(Em7)This is how it feels,

kiss in’ the (Gsus2)sky.

(D)This is what it means,

(D)touch ing for (Asus)ev er.

(Csus2)Like a phoe nix ris ing from the flames,

I’m reach in’ for (Cmaj9)heav en.

All this (B)time,

I nev er (F#)knew I was so strong.

But you (C#m7)made me find the fire

that was (E)there all a long.

In your (B)eyes,

I can see (F#)all I can be.

I’m reach in’ for (C6)heav en.
