Thought that I'd be happy
Going to be so happy
Living life alone and
never sharing anything
Thought that I was finished
Thought that I was complete
Thought that I was whole
instead of being half
of something
Thought that I was growing
Growing older wiser
Understanding why this world
held nothing for my spirit
Thought that I was destined
Destined to be nothing
Destined to be nothing
in this world and
then I met you
I met you
I met you
I met you
I met you
Thought that God
had failed me
Thought my prayers
were useless
Thought that he would never
get the chance for me
to praise him
Thought the book
was written
Thought the game
had ended
Thought the song was sung
and I could never sing another
Thought my faith
was misplaced
Thought my back
was broken
Broken by a weight
that I was never fit to carry
I thought I knew this city
Thought I knew all about it
And then one night I went
to Morningside and
you were waiting
I met you
I met you
I met you
I met you
Thought that I'd be happy
Going to be so happy
Living life alone and
never sharing anything
Thought that I was finished
Thought that I was complete
Thought that I was whole
instead of being half
of something
Thought that I was growing
Growing older wiser
Understanding why this world
held nothing for my spirit
Thought that I was destined
Destined to be nothing
Destined to be nothing
in this world and
then I met you
I met you
I met you
I met you
I met you
I met you
I met you
I met you
I met you
I met you
I met you
I met you
I met you
