I been good, I been great
I been high for my sake
I been loved, I been kissed
I been noticed, I been missed
I been fearless, I been shook
I got stories in my book
Every chapter, a holy rapture
Brother, sister
I been, I been
I can't win, but I can't lose
Walked a thousand in these shoes
I been broken, I been bruised
Come all ye faithful, to change my views
Lost my voice and my reason
Guiding angels, they shouted treason
Led me out to face my demons
In the dark, but still believing
I been, oh I been
I been wasted, I been skipped
I have tasted from your lips
Sweet love with no meaning
Happy people for a season
But nothing ventured, nothing gained
So let me wallow in my shame
Cause I have laughed, I have loved
I been saved, I been touched
I been
I've been low, I been down
Seen a jester wear my crown
I been cut, I been hurt
I been swept out with the dirt
But here I am and still I rise
With your thorn still in my side
I may cry, but I'll survive
Long the journey, I'll tow the line
I been
You saw beauty, you saw greatness
Inside everything they hated
You saw hope, you saw me
Gave me just enough to breathe
When I was cold, I was frozen
You showed up, arms wide open
I looked on in disbelief
I been chosen, I been chosen!
I been...
Oh yeah, I been
