- Songwriters: Derek Walsh Webb
What looks like failure is success
And what looks like poverty is riches
When what is true looks more like a knife
It looks like you'Â're killing me but youÂ''re saving my life
And I give myself to what looks like love
And I sell myself for what feels like love
And I pay to get what is not love
And all just because, 'cause I see things upside down
What looks like weakness can do anything
And what looks like foolishness is understanding
When what is powerful has not come to fight
It looks like youÂ''re going to war but you lay down your life
But I give myself to what looks like love
And I sell myself for what feels like love
And I pay to get what is not love
And all just because, 'cause I see things upside down
What looks like torture is a time to rejoice
And what sounds like thunder is a comforting voice
When what is beautiful looks broken and crushed
And I say I don'Â't know you but you say it'Â's finished
When what is beautiful looks broken and crushed
And I say I donÂ''t know you but you say itÂ''s finished
