Lyrics
Verse
You've been bounced around
From house to house
Town to town
No wonder you've shut down
From everyone and everything
That can hurt you
If you let it in
You try to keep your head above water
And when you ask yourself why bother
Remember
Chorus
You are loved
You are wanted
If you could see
What I see in you
You would believe it too
You've had it rough
Oh, but don't give up
You can turn it all around
Baby, just reach out
You are loved
Verse
I found faith in me
When I believed
In everything
That you are and can be
You showed me all I've overcome
How I've always been someone
Now when I'm lonely or you're afraid
We can look to each other to say
Chorus
You are loved
You are wanted
If you could see
What I see in you
You would believe it too
You've had it rough
Oh, but don't give up
You can turn it all around
Baby, just reach out
Bridge
You're not lost
You're not broken
No, you'll never be alone
Look inside
And you'll find
You're already home
Chorus
You are loved
You are wanted
If you could see
What I see in you
You would believe it too
You've had it rough
Oh, but don't give up
You can turn it all around
Baby, just reach out
You are loved
