The price of the light

Lyrics

THE PRICE OF LIGHT [INTRO] I'm afraid... Afraid to fail, afraid to face myself. For years I ran from the mirror, from the man I became. But you can't outrun your shadow forever... Tonight, I walk toward the light. [VERSE 1] I know my weaknesses, I know my limits now. Pride had a way of making me forget somehow. I chased the high, I lost my way, I called it freedom, but I was running from the pain. Every choice has a price, every wound leaves a scar. And sometimes the darkest road is the one that shows you who you are. So I won't hide, I won't pretend. I came here with an open heart, ready to make amends. [PRE-CHORUS] I can't change yesterday, I can't erase what I've done. But I can face the consequences, I can become someone new. If forgiveness has a price, then I'll pay it. If healing takes a lifetime, I'll walk through it. [CHORUS] I'm walking on the road to forgiveness, with my heart wide open. Trying to mend the hearts I broke, trying to calm the anger. I know I can't erase my sins, but I can carry the weight. Step by step, I keep walking... Until I find the light again. The light... The light of peace. [VERSE 2] I thought success could save me, thought the world would understand. But the higher you climb, the harder it is to hide who you really are. Human madness can build a kingdom, then leave you standing in the dark. And sometimes losing everything is where the healing starts. No excuses, no disguise. Just an honest man looking himself in the eyes. I don't ask you to forget, I don't ask you to pretend. I only ask for one more chance to make peace with who I've been. [PRE-CHORUS] I can't change yesterday, I can't erase what I've done. But I can face the consequences, I can become someone new. If forgiveness has a price, then I'll pay it. If healing takes a lifetime, I'll walk through it. [CHORUS] I'm walking on the road to forgiveness, with my heart wide open. Trying to mend the hearts I broke, trying to calm the anger. I know I can't erase my sins, but I can carry the weight. Step by step, I keep walking... Until I find the light again. The light... The light of peace. [BRIDGE] Maybe redemption isn't about becoming perfect. Maybe it's having the courage to finally tell the truth. To say: I was wrong. I was afraid. I lost myself. But I'm still here... And I'm still walking. [FINAL CHORUS] I'm walking on the road to forgiveness, with my heart wide open. No more running from the darkness, no more hiding from my past. I know I can't erase my sins, but I can change what comes next. Step by step, I keep walking... Until I find the light again. And if the road is long, I'll walk it. If the price is high, I'll pay it. Until my soul can breathe again... Until I find peace. Until I find the light. [OUTRO] I was afraid of failing... Now I'm more afraid of never becoming better. So I walk... One step at a time. Toward forgiveness. Toward healing. Toward the light.
