| 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 |
