Real To Me Lyrics

I was raised in the heartland
Taught to revere Your name
I spoke it out on Sundays
Other times used it in vain

Yeah, I'd stare up at the stars
Seeking shelter from the noise
Sent up a thousand prayers
But I never heard Your voice

Searching, searching for something real

My world came crashing down
Felt empty to my bones
All my friends said they'd pray for me
But still I felt alone

So I drove off in my car
Crying underneath the stars
Yeah, the songs on my radio
Spoke to my busted heart

In this brokenness I was free
That's the moment, You became real to me

I've danced in the sun
I've run through the rain
Felt joy take the place of the sorrow and the pain
It took my everything
Now I believe
You became real to me

Now my heart is still aching
For authenticity
But the truth is running deep and wild
Beyond what we can't see

I've danced in the sun
I've run through the rain
Felt joy take the place of the sorrow and the pain
It took my everything
Now I believe
You became real to me

Hallelujah
For the questions and the trials
Hallelujah
For the road and all the miles
Hallelujah
For the days of doubt and fear
Hallelujah
For the things that got me here

Hallelujah
For the questions and the trials
Hallelujah
For the road and all the miles
Hallelujah
For the days of doubt and fear
Hallelujah
For the things that got me here

I've danced in the sun
I've run through the rain
Felt joy take the place of the sorrow and the pain
It took my everything
Now I believe
You became real to me

It took my everything
Now I believe
You became real to me
