"Beautiful Life"

I've been stuck inside a cloud
I've been swimming in my doubt
I've been sinking in a crowd
And I find myself talking to myself out loud

[Pre-Chorus:]
Remember this
That you're never alone in the fight
Remember this
In the darkness, there's always a light

[Chorus:]
Open my eyes to see
It's a beautiful life
It's a beautiful life
Ain't it bitter and sweet
It's a beautiful life
It's a beautiful life
I'm still learning to breathe
I don't have what I want
But I have what I need
Open my eyes to see
I don't have what I want
But I have what I need

Am I living, am I dead?
Is it all just in my head?
I can't sleep when I'm in bed
I feel the darkness taking over me

[Chorus:]
Open my eyes to see
It's a beautiful life
It's a beautiful life
Ain't it bitter and sweet
It's a beautiful life
It's a beautiful life
I'm still learning to breathe
I don't have what I want
But I have what I need
Open my eyes to see
I don't have what I want
But I have what I need

[Tag:]
And it feels like
The only thing that's mine is this life I lead
And it feels like
The only light I find is the light that's finding me

[Bridge:]
Remember this
That you're never alone in the fight
Remember this
In the darkness, there's always a light
Remember this
That you're never alone
Love is the voice that's guiding you home
Remember this
Don't run from the fight
Here comes that morning light

[Chorus:]
Open my eyes to see
It's a beautiful life
It's a beautiful life (It's a beautiful life)
Ain't it bitter and sweet
It's a beautiful life
It's a beautiful life (Oh, it's a beautiful life)
I'm still learning to breathe
I don't have what I want
But I have what I need (I have what I need)
Open my eyes to see
I don't have what I want
But I have what I need (I have what I need)
In this beautiful life (In this beautiful life)
In this beautiful life (In this beautiful life)
In this beautiful life
