lyrics

Call me a saint, call me a sinner.
Call me a loser, call me a winner.
Call me a ten, call me a zero.
Call me a victim, call me a hero.

I've been a saint, I've been a sinner.
I've been a loser, I've been a winner.
I've been a ten, I've been a zero.
I've been rescued, I've been a hero.

Sometimes blessed, sometimes wounded,
sometimes bleeding in my soul,
Though you'll never see the hole.
The arrow's buried deep below.

I've struggled long, I've dug in deep.
I made it to the other side.
I've wrestled with my blinding pride,
Fought the demons still inside. Cuz,

I've been a saint, I've been a sinner.
I've been a loser, I've been a winner.
I've been a ten, I've been a zero.
I've been rescued, I've been a hero.

Call me a saint, call me a sinner.
Call me a loser, call me a winner.
Call me a ten, call me a zero.
Call me a victim, call me a hero.

I'm just like you; I'm just like everyone
Who's made it through some years.
I earned my scars and my gray hairs.
I show my smiles and hide my tears.

I'm just glad to be alive,
and life's the price we have to pay
to find the joy along the way;
to find the heaven in each day.

Cuz we're all saints, we're all sinners.
We're all losers, we're all winners.
We're all tens, we're all zeroes.
We're all rescued and we're all heroes.

So call us saints, call us sinners.
Call us losers and call us winners.
Call us tens, call us zeroes.
Call us rescued and call us heroes.
