You always think I'm somewhere on a mountain top But never think behind bars You'd be amazed the places that I'd go to be with you Where you are So forget what you've heard What you think that you know There's a lot about me That's never been told I'm more than you dreamed More than you understand Your days and your times Were destined for our dance I catch all your tears Burn your name on my heart Be still and trust my plan I'm more than you think I am (am, am, oh) More than you think I am (am, am, oh) Rumor has it there's a gavel in my hand I'm only here to condemn But let me tell you secrets you would've never known I think of you as my best friend So much has been said Even doubted my name But I'm showing you now Who I really am I'm more than you dreamed More than you understand Your days and your times Were destined for our dance I catch all your tears Burn your name on my heart Be still and trust my plan I'm more than you think I am (am, am, oh) More than you think I am (am, am, oh) Let me open your eyes to see the heart of me, differently, oh Come closer than you've ever been Let me in like never before Bring me every broken part The wounds and scars of who you are And hide in me and you will see I'm more than you dreamed More than you understand Your days and your times Were destined for our dance I catch all your tears Burn your name on my heart Be still and trust my plan I'm more than you think I am (am, am, oh) I'm more than you think I am (am, am, oh) More than you think I am (oh, oh, oh, oh) More than you think I am I'm more than you think I am
