Lyrics

How'd we drift so far apart?
Oh God, it breaks our hearts
We can hear heavens tears cry
For wasted years
The time for change is now
Can you hear us calling out?
We were meant to be
A city on a hill
Shine like the stars in the sky
We were meant to live
For more than this world
So open our eyes to see
What we were meant to be
What we were meant to be, oh
Even in the darkest place
We'll stand, we're not ashamed
When fear and doubt, try to hold us down
We'll stand, we're not afraid
The time for change is now
We can hear you calling out
We were meant to be
A city on a hill
Shine like the stars in the sky
We were meant to live
For more than this world
So open our eyes to see
What we were meant to be
What we were meant to be, oh
Start a brush fire in my soul
A flame that won't die, won't grow cold
Let it burn, let it burn
Start a brush fire in my soul
A flame that won't die, won't grow cold
Let it burn for You
We were meant to be
A city on a hill
Shine like the stars in the sky
We were meant to live
For more than this world
So open our eyes to see
We were meant to be
A city on a hill
Shine like the stars in the sky
We were meant to live
For more than this world
So open our eyes to see, oh God
What we were meant to be, oh
What we were meant to be, oh
What we were meant to be, oh
What we were meant to be, oh
