Let Go to Rise

Lyrics

I was running, I was fighting, I was breaking at the seams
Thought the weight was mine to carry, thought the fire was just for me
But the walls I built for shelter only turned into a cage
And the echoes of my anger were the voice that called my name

Then I saw it in their eyes, the same pain I tried to hide
All the ones I swore were heartless, they were drowning just like I

So I let go to rise, fell into the great unknown
When I stopped trying to hold it, I found out I wasn’t alone
Now the wind it moves through me, like a river through the stone
I let go to rise—now I’m finally home

I was burning with the questions, shaking fists up at the sky
Cursing every road I walked down, never asking myself why
But the storms were sent to wake me, break the chains I couldn’t see
And the love I kept denying was the love that set me free

Now I see it in their eyes, the same longing, the same fight
We are all just waves returning to an ocean full of light

So I let go to rise, fell into the great unknown
When I stopped trying to hold it, I found out I wasn’t alone
Now the wind it moves through me, like a river through the stone
I let go to rise—now I’m finally home

Every shadow had a lesson, every wound became a door
I had to fall apart to find what I was really searching for
Now the ground beneath is steady, now my heart beats with the sky
No more fear, no more running—I was always meant to fly

So I let go to rise, fell into the great unknown
When I stopped trying to hold it, I found out I wasn’t alone
Now the wind it moves through me, like a river through the stone
I let go to rise—now I’m finally home

I was running, I was fighting, but the war was never mine
I let go, I surrendered… now I rise
