You’ve Heard It Before

Nineteen and running scared
You thought her love will pull you through
But your dreams of matrimony
Never quite came true
So you packed up your failures
You set off running
Tried to leave behind the pain
You left your heart and walked on alone
With nothing to win, nothing to gain

You've heard it before
This time it just might find your heart
I’ll say it again
That He can reach you wherever you've been
Until my breath is gone
Until my breath is gone

You were all a man could be
To my twelve-year-old eyes
A little brother worshipping
Yet I never realized
Oh, you hid it all so well
And lived a lie instead
The truth never reached your heart
And I guess it was there
Just trapped in your head

You've heard it before
This time it just might find your heart
I’ll say it again
That He can reach you wherever you've been
You've heard it before
And it breaks His heart to see you alone
I'll say it again
I will not, I cannot, I won't turn my head
Until my breath is gone
Until my breath is gone

Oh, He knows your disappointments
You see He's felt them too
And then if you'll stop your running
You'll see that He’s right there next to you

Yeah!
Come on!

You’ve heard it before
This time it just might find your heart
I'll say it again
That He can reach you wherever you’ve been
You've heard it before
And it breaks His heart to see you alone
I'll say it again

Oh-whoa...
You've heard it before
Oh-whoa...
I’ll say it again
Until my breath is gone
