Lyrics

You Found Me

I was falling through a hole in the universe
That kind of caught me by surprise
I could feel the wind rushing by my ears
Just before I looked in your eyes

And when I finally saw you
Across the river of fear
I never thought I would stand again
Or that help would be so near

But you found me, you found me
You pulled me from the dead of night
You found me, you found me
I must have been quite a sight

I was running out of oxygen
I was at the end of my rope
Then you taught me how to breathe again
You showed me there was hope

You changed everything
You got me back on my feet
You reached out for me
When others left me on the street

You found me, you found me
You pulled me from the rubble and stone
You found me, you found me
Just when I thought that I would be alone

For the ones who come in helicopters
Over wind-­‐ravaged towns
Or loving friends and family
Who always are around

Here's to the strength they show
And the chasms that they fill
Here’s to the ones we know
And the ones we never will
You found me, you found me

INSTRUMENTAL

I was sinking in the water
That had surged up from the shore
I was thinking it was over
Then you came to me once more

When the earth gets angry
Or there’s thunder in my soul
You help me pick up the pieces
You’ve made me whole

You found me, you found me
You pulled me from the rubble and stone
You found me, you found me
Just when I thought that I would be alone
You found me
