[Verse 1]
Out past the frozen trees
I found a crack in the sky
A single thread of gold
Pulled me up from the night
I was tired of the weight
Tired of the stone in my chest
Then your voice cut through
Like a fire in the west
[Pre-Chorus]
So I climbed, I climbed
With shaking hands
I let go of the fear
I let go of the past
And I saw, I saw
The dark begin to fade
When I said your name
Everything changed
[Chorus]
This is the way it is
This is the way it goes
Out of the cold, you call
And you make me whole
This is the way it is
I rise when I hear your voice
I was made for more
I was made for this choice
[Verse 2]
There was a lion in the hills
And a river under the ice
He looked right through my skin
And made my heart come alive
Every broken piece
Every scar I used to hide
He put a crown on my head
And said, "Walk on, don't look behind"
[Pre-Chorus]
So I climbed, I climbed
With shaking hands
I let go of the fear
I let go of the past
And I saw, I saw
The dark begin to fade
When I said your name
Everything changed
[Chorus]
This is the way it is
This is the way it goes
Out of the cold, you call
And you make me whole
This is the way it is
I rise when I hear your voice
I was made for more
I was made for this choice
[Bridge]
If the wolves come close
If the shadows stay
I'll still follow the light
That won't drift away
And if I fall again
You will raise me up
From the buried ground
To the kingdom's cup
[Final Chorus]
This is the way it is
This is the way it goes
Out of the cold, you call
And you make me whole
This is the way it is
I rise when I hear your voice
I was made for more
I was made for this choice
This is the way it is
This is the way it goes
I was made for more
I was made for this choice
