You are More

You Are More.
    -Tenth Avenue North

There’s a girl in the corner with tear stains on her eyes
From the places she’s wandered and the shame she can’t hide
She says “How did I get here? I’m not who I once was
And I’m crippled by the fear that I’ve fallen too to love”

But don’t you know who you are, what’s been done for you?
Don’t you know who you are?
You are more than the choices that you’ve made
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes
You are more than the problems you create, you’ve been remade

Well she tries to believe it that she’s been given new life
But she can’t shake the feeling that it’s not true tonight
She knows all the answers and she’s rehearsed all the lines
and so she’ll try to do better but then she’s too weak to try

But don’t you know who you are?
You are more than the choices that you’ve made
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes
You are more than the problems you create, you’ve been remade

You are more than the choices that you’ve made
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes
You are more than the problems you create, you’ve been remade

Cause this is not about what you’ve done but what’s been done for you
This is not about where you’ve been but where your brokenness brings you to
This is not about what you feel but what he felt to forgive you
 And what he felt to make you loved

You are more than the choices that you’ve made
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes
You are more than the problems you create, you’ve been remade

You are more than the choices that you’ve made
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes
You are more than the problems you create, you’ve been remade

You’ve been remade, You’ve been remade, You’ve been remade, You’ve been remade
