"Because you loved me"

For all those times you -------- by me
For all the truth that you -------- me see
For all the joy you -------- to my life
For all the wrong that you ------- right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I ------- in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who ----- me ---
Never let me fall
You're the one who ------ me through
through it all

You ------ my strength
When I ------ weak
You were my voice
When I couldn't speak
You were my eyes
When I couldn't see
You ------- the best there was in me
-------- me --- when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cause you ---------
I'm everything I am
Because you ------ me

You ------ me wings and ----- me fly
You ------- my hand
I could touch the sky
I ----- my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star ----- out of reach
You ------- by me and I stood tall
I ------ your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you ----- me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I ------ blessed
Because I was loved by you

You ----- always there for me
The tender wind that ------ me
A light in the dark
Shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you ------ the truth
My world is a better place
Because of you


chorus

I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
