Chorus 1
I saw you
Through the window
The first time that
You lost your faith
The leaves fell
Brown and yellow
The first time you lost your faith

Love was everywhere
Blowing in the air
And you breathed it in
And let it live inside your heart
But the Reaper came
Took it all away
From the lost remains
You watched as your world fell apart
How could it all change in the blinking of an eye?

Chorus 2
I saw you
Through the window
The first time that
You lost your faith
The tree fell
In your meadow
The first time you lost your faith

One thing that you knew
Would always be true
There would be a time and a season
To everything there is
Now you offer up your life
As a living sacrifice
Lay it down
Give it up
Give it all at any price
You want to hold on
To everything you had
But it’s time to let it go
And set it free

Chorus 3
I saw you
Through the window
The first time that
You lost your faith
The sky fell
And it echoed
The first time you lost your faith

Bridge
But what you cannot see
are arms of love
Holding you

There’s a time to live
A time to die
A time to laugh
And a time to cry
A time to lose
A time to find
A time to land
And a time to fly
They go hand in hand
Intertwined
If you look real close
You’ll see the other side

The leaves are showing
The tree is growing
The sky is glowing tonight (Repeat three times)
