[Verse 1 Andy Mineo] Everybody wanna be heard, everybody wanna be seen Everybody wanna be known, and everybody got some dreams We wanna be understood, not overlooked And when we fall who gon carry us underwood? We need love and affection, time and attention Affirmation, acceptance, someone to give direction Set apart from the rest and we wanna stand distinguished And be the cool kid like youre Chuck Inglish Been on a quest for this ever since Genesis But settling for fools gold instead of what the treasure is Chasing after numbers yo, this must have been our exodus We dont want no Jesus less Hes chillin on our necklaces [Hook Co Campbell] Formerly known, way before the moment I was born Im not an accident or a clone, yeah The one that made me gave me purpose Now I dont gotta go on searching Formerly known, way before the moment I was born Im not an accident all alone, yeah The One that made me, gave me purpose Now I dont gotta go on searching Formerly known [Verse 2 Andy Mineo] What you lookin at now, not what I always been I aint braggin on my past, but buddy I was trapped in sin No power in myself to overcome my flesh I bought clothes to get undressed, but God revealed my nakedness A hostile enemy, speech was all venomy Jesus was a nice guy, but wasnt no friend of me My lips said I loved Him, my actions despised His reign I had my own agenda, I was my own king Then He came, I was changed by grace through faith Every dollar that I owed it was paid, paid, paid, paid Sin bill was something I couldnt pick up Now I got my hands raised high like a stick up He know me even better than I know myself Every hair on my head, every need I felt So before Im gone, gotta get to know Him CLite no more but the light still on [Hook] [Bridge] Before Im gone, gotta get to know Him CLite no more but the light still on On, on, on Before Im gone On, on CLite no more but the light still on [Hook]
