[Verse 1]
I'm standing barefoot right on the edge
Falling into something major
I don't know what it is
But my body is feeling much braver
And may-maybe it's you
Maybe it's me too
Maybe, I
[Pre-Chorus]
I wish we could hold our breath
Until we know what's next
I wish I could open my chest
And show you everything, yeah
[Chorus]
How did we become
Greater than we are, greater than we are? (Ooh)
How did we become
Stronger than we are, stronger than we are? (Ooh)
'Cause you open my eyes, oh yeah
You brought me to life, oh yeah
You open my eyes, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
And how did we become
Greater than we are, greater than we are? (Ooh)
Ooh, oh yeah
Hey, yeah
[Verse 2]
I'm seeing colors vivid and bright
How did, how did you do this?
My feet are up in the sky
Heaven's so close, I could kiss it
And may-maybe it's you
And maybe it's me too, maybe
[Pre-Chorus]
I wish we could hold our breath
Until we know what's next
I wish I could open my chest
And show you everything, ooh
[Chorus]
How did we become
Free-er than we are, free-er than we are? (Ooh)
How did we become
Stranger than we are, stranger than we are? (Ooh)
'Cause you open my eyes, oh yeah
You brought to life, oh yeah
You open my eyes, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
And how did we become
Greater than we are, greater than we are? (Ooh)
[Bridge]
'Cause you open my eyes, oh yeah
You brought me to life, oh yeah
You open my eyes, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
'Cause you open my eyes, oh yeah
You brought me to life, oh yeah
You open my eyes, oh yeah, oh yeah
[Chorus]
Oh, and how did we become
Greater than we are, greater than we are? (Ooh)
How did we become
Stronger than we are, stronger than we are? (Ooh)
'Cause you open my eyes, oh yeah
You brought to life, oh yeah
You open my eyes, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
And how did we become
Greater than we are, greater than we are? (Ooh)
