GWhen the stars came crashing down
DIn tiny pieces to the ground 
EmI was all alone down here 
CTrapped beneath the atmosphere 
GThen I, thought somebody called my name 
DI spun around and caught a flame 
EmI gave into a God I didn't knoCw 
AmAnd now everything is falling into pDlace 
AmA brand new life is calling and I Emowe it all to graDce 
[Chorus]
CIt's so much brighter living Gin your world 
EmSavior, what you did for Dme 
CYou gave me something I want eGveryone to sDee
