I have run to the ocean Through the horizon Chased the sun I've waited for the light to come, And at times I would give up You have Wrapped your loving arms 'round me, And with your love I'll overcome. You have Loved me when I was weak, You have Given unselfishly, Kept me from falling, falling Everywhere but my knees! You set me free! To live my life You became my reason to survive the great divide You set me free! I've been on Heaven's doorstep, With the door open, One foot inside I've cried out, God give me answers! Please hush child I'll tell you why You have Loved me when you were weak, You kept Giving unselfishly, Kept you from Falling, falling Everywhere but your knees! You set me free! To live my life You became my reason to survive the great divide You set me free! Oh, our love is beautiful Oh, oo, oh, isn't it beautiful? Times have changed But you remain My everything Our love is beautiful Stood by my side Helped me survive My great divide Isn't this is beautiful. You set me free! To live my life You became my reason to survive the great divide You set me free!
