Arise, there’s a new way to live
Thought we were living
But that’s not what we’ve been
We’ve been breathing out
We’ve been breathing in
But the question remains
Have we ever truly lived?

There’s more than one way
A man can lose his life
Might have a heart beat
But nothing left inside
He prayed a prayer
Maybe bent a knee
But he never walked with Jesus
And he never got free

Arise, there’s a new way to live
Thought we were living
But that’s not what we’ve been
We’ve been breathing out
We’ve been breathing in
But the question remains
Have we ever truly lived?

A woman too
Can know the death
That steals her soul
But not her breath
Her heart gets broken
And she grows hard
And in the mirror
She only sees the scars

Arise, there’s a new way to live
Thought we were living
But that’s not what we’ve been
We’ve been breathing out
We’ve been breathing in
But the question remains
Have we ever truly lived?

Arise, little girl, Jesus said
“Take my hand  “
And get out of your bed
Come to life
You’ve been fast asleep
Come and live, come and follow me”

Arise, there’s a new way to live
Thought we were living
But that’s not what we’ve been
We’ve been breathing out
We’ve been breathing in
But the question remains
Have we ever truly lived?
Arise, there’s a new way to live
Thought we were living
But that’s not what you’ve been
you’ve been breathing out
you’ve been breathing in
But the question remains
Have we ever truly lived?
