Thank You For Everything

You brought me rain when I was thirsty for the storm

Every drop that fell, it carved me into something worn

I should have known the pain would be my teacher all along

Now I'm standing here, learning how to sing this song

All the ways you broke me down

Built me up from holy ground

Thank you for everything, even the tears that wouldn't dry

Thank you for everything, the hurt that made me fly

Every scar became a map to who I'm meant to be

Thank you for everything, for setting my heart free

You painted bruises purple, blue across my weary soul

Left me counting pieces of what used to make me whole

But in the breaking, something beautiful began to grow

Now I understand the things I never used to know

All the ways you broke me down

Built me up from holy ground

Thank you for everything, even the tears that wouldn't dry

Thank you for everything, the hurt that made me fly

Every scar became a map to who I'm meant to be

Thank you for everything, for setting my heart free

You left me messages written in the language of goodbye

Every word a weapon that you aimed between my eyes

But I learned to read the lessons hidden in your lies

Now I'm grateful for the fall that taught me how to rise

You gave me winter when I needed spring to bloom inside

Made me walk through fire just to reach the other side

All the sleepless nights you cost me, they weren't really lost

They were payments on a freedom that was worth what healing cost

So here I am, baptized in all the tears I cried for you

Understanding now that breaking was what I had to do

Every breath you stole from me, I learned to breathe again

Every door you closed on me revealed where I had been

Thank you for the darkness, it showed me I had light

Thank you for the silence, it taught me how to fight

I'm not bitter anymore

Found beauty in the war

Every wound became a door

To something worth much more

Thank you for everything, even the tears that wouldn't dry

Thank you for everything, the hurt that made me fly

Every scar became a map to who I'm meant to be

Thank you for everything, for setting my heart free

You brought me rain when I was thirsty for the storm

Now I'm dancing in the downpour, grateful and reborn
