The dream is fading now I’m staring at the door
I know it’s over ‘cause my feet have hit the cold floor
Check my reflection, I ain’t feeling what I see
Its no mystery
Whatever happened to a passion I could live for?
What became of the flame that made me feel more?
And when did I forget …
That I was made to love You
I was made to find You
I was made just for You
Made to adore You
I was made to love and be loved by You
You were here before me
You were waiting on me
And you said You’d keep me never would You leave me
I was made to love
And be loved by You
The dream’s alive with my eyes open wide
Back in the ring You got me swingin’ for the grand prize
I feel the haters spittin’ vapors on my dreams
But I still believe …
I’m reaching out, reachin’ up, reachin’ over
I feel a breeze cover me called Jehovah
And Daddy I’m on my way …
Anything, I would give up for You
Everything, I’d give it all away

Behind the Song:
"This song is the rhythm of what I love. It has a touch of island melodics with a hip-hop feel presiding. DJ cuts, live horns, and spicy female BGV’s make it gritty and street like. It reflects who I am as an artist, rootsy enough, urban enough, and chanty yet melodic. The heart of the song was simply a prayer that unravels in conversational terms, honest and vulnerable. I describe my morning “The dream is fading now I’m staring at the door. “ God it’s you and me here alone, but I’m about to go face this day and all that comes with it. It’s so easy for all of us to forget what matters to us in the midst of the chaos the world throws at us. This song is about the moment we remember… 'I was made to love and be loved by you.'" - TobyMac
