They called you a failure, they called you a lost cause 
They said you would never become anything at all 
A generation with no direction 
But when I look in your eyes 
I see the prize yet to be claimed 

(Chorus:) 
I'll say it once, I'll say it twice 
That your life was worth the price 
Paid for you, paid for me 
And I believe that in you and I know you'll find the truth 

I know you've been broken, 'cause I've seen the abuse 
I know there's a place inside your heart 
Begging for truth 
For a softspoken answer that won't break your spirit 
And when I look in your eyes 
I see the prize that's yet to be claimed 

(Repeat Chorus)

But that's not what they told you 
When they said that they gave up on you 
And you're nothing, and you'll never be anything 
I wait for the day when you'll stand up and say 
I can do all things through Him who strengthens me 

(Repeat Chorus)
