Lyrics to “Rest of My Life (From the Original Motion Picture SIGHT)” -
??
Spent most of my life
Killin’ my time on the sidelines wishin’ I
Had a purpose had a reason had a why
I was searching with a blindfold In the dark
Til I met you and you rescued my heart
Was lost and found Was blind but now I’ll never be the same
For the rest of my LIFE
I’m gonna reach higher I’m gonna live for what I believe
Everyday three sixty-five right up until the day that I DIE
In every moment be everything you made me to be
I’m not afraid with you right by my side for the rest of my
See it clearer in the mirror eyes are open
Cuz it’s in Him that I’m placing all my hope in
Yeah, you loved me first now my universe is and will always be yours
For the rest of my LIFE
I’m gonna reach higher I’m gonna live for what I believe
Everyday three sixty-five right up until the day that I DIE
In every moment be everything you made me to be
I’m not afraid with you right by my side for the rest of my life
I was dying only trying to survive
But now I’m thriving Living like I am alive
Ain’t it crazy How in the blink of an eye
You could change me for the rest of my life LIFE
I’m gonna reach higher I’m gonna live for what I believe
Everyday three sixty-five right up until the day that I DIE
In every moment be everything you made me to be
I’m not afraid with you right by my side for the rest of my life
