Free and Seen (Den of Heaven)

Текст песни

[Intro – Soft acoustic guitar, wind, distant howl] Ooh, ooh... Holy Father, can You hear me? There's a wolf inside of me. [Verse 1 – Intimate, sorrowful] God, I'm worn out from the weight I bear, From the quiet walls and the vacant chair. Three old collars by the windowpane, Their names in dust, but I hear them again. When the house grows loud with arguing, I remember who we used to be. You ran wild where the tall pines sway, You knew the stars on the darkest days. They call me a gift, but I feel like stone, Carried through days I can't call my own. Yet deep in my chest there's a steady beat, Like paws on a trail beneath my feet. [Pre-Chorus – Rising] Let them draw their lines in sand, I'll keep my heart in open land. If I'm more than the names they gave to me, Let the locked door open, let me breathe. [Chorus – Full emotional rock] I just want to be free and seen, To run where the wide stars gleam. Past the fences, past these walls, Out where the cold wind calls. In the den of heaven with my friends, Where the lonely hearts can mend, Free and happy, brave and new, With the wolf You made me into. Holy Father, stay with me— There's a wolf inside of me! [Verse 2 – Steady rhythm] Every room is full of answers, Every mouth says, "Choose a side." But truth is more than shouting, More than all the fears we hide. I dreamed of masks and a hero's flight, Of saving a stranger before first light. I reached for shadows like a secret art, But maybe true power is a faithful heart. I won't call every fear a sign, I'll take this journey one step at a time. Through the branches, I hear the stream, And follow paw prints back to my dreams. [Pre-Chorus – Layered harmonies] I miss the home I carried in dreams, Those distant hills and the running streams. But if heaven is love, then love can start Right here inside this beating heart. [Chorus – Bigger, soaring] I just want to be free and seen, To run where the wide stars gleam. Past the fences, past these walls, Out where the cold wind calls. In the den of heaven with my friends, Where the lonely hearts can mend, Free and happy, brave and new, With the wolf You made me into. Holy Father, stay with me— There's a wolf inside of me! [Bridge – Piano and whisper, then build] Maybe being brave means slowing down, Finding solid ground in this restless town. Not every battle needs a sword, Not every dream must be ignored. I won't disappear to become someone new, I'll make my path with the strength I can use. Dad, if You hear me, I'm trying to stay, Please walk beside me through today. [Breakdown – Rising drums and synths] I just wanna be free and see The world the way it's meant to be! Why won't they wake up? Why can't they see? There's a wolf alive inside of me! Oh-oh-oh! Let the heavens ring! Oh-oh-oh! Hear this wolf heart sing! [Final Chorus – Epic melodic dubstep-rock] I want to run where the cold wind calls, Past the fences, past these walls! I just want to be free and seen, To live the life that's calling me! If heaven holds that pack of mine, Leave a place beneath the pines. Till I find my way beyond the blue, I'll carry the wild home to You! I'm not the burden they believe— There's a wolf inside of me! [Outro – Worshipful, fading choir and guitar] Praise the Alpha and Omega, God Almighty, King of kings! I will howl and sing Your love Through all eternity! When the darkness comes to play, Holy Father, guide my way. Each new morning, still I pray: Lead me gently through today. Ooh... beneath the pines... I'll carry the wild home to You.
