Spending my time sleep walkin'
Movin' my mouth but not saying a thing
Hopin' the changes would take
By workin' their way from the outside in

I was in love with an idea
Preoccupied with how a life should appear
Spending my time at the surface
Repairing the holes in a shiny veneer

There are so many ways to hide
There are so many ways not to feel
There are so many ways to deny what is real

And I just showed up
For my own life
And I'm standin' here takin' it in
And it sure looks bright

I'm going to live my life inspired
Look for the holy in the common place
Open the windows and feel all that's honest and real
Until I'm truly amazed

And I'm goin' to feel all my emotions
I'm goin' to look you in the eyes
I'm goin' to listen and hear until it's finally clear
And it changes our lives

There are so many ways to hide
There are so many ways not to feel
There are so many ways to deny what is real

And I just showed up
For my own life
And I'm standin' here takin' it in
And it sure looks bright

Oh, the glory of God is man fully alive
Oh, the glory of God is man fully alive

And I just showed up
For my own life
And I'm standin' here takin' it in
And it sure looks bright

And I just showed up
For my own life
And I'm standin' here takin' it in
And it sure looks bright

And the glory of God is man fully alive
Oh, the glory of God is man fully alive

I'm comin' alive
I'm comin' alive
I'm comin' alive
And I just showed up

Oh, look what I've been missin'
Oh, see what I've been missin'
Standin' here taking it in
And it sure looks bright

And I just showed up
And I just showed up
Oh, look what I've been missin'
