[Musikstil Hozier]
---
[Verse 1]
I carried sins that weren’t my own,
Held the weight like carved-in stone.
Every step a quiet plea,
Every breath a dying tree.
I chased the dawn through blackened skies,
Lost my truth in borrowed lies.
But in the dirt beneath my feet,
I found a heart still meant to beat.
---
[Pre-Chorus]
If mercy lives in broken ground,
Then I was lost but finally found.
---
[Chorus]
It was the fall that saved me,
Not the light that tried to raise me.
When I shattered, I could see
Every truth that hid in me.
It was the fall that saved me —
Brought me down to set me free.
---
[Verse 2]
I prayed in rooms that held no god,
Walked the path no saint had trod.
Every hope a fading spark,
Every promise turning dark.
But when I fell, the earth was kind,
Held my body, cleared my mind.
And in the silence, soft and deep,
I found a soul I meant to keep.
---
[Pre-Chorus]
If mercy lives in broken ground,
Then I was lost but finally found.
---
[Chorus]
It was the fall that saved me,
Not the light that tried to raise me.
When I shattered, I could see
Every truth that hid in me.
It was the fall that saved me —
Brought me down to set me free.
---
[Bridge – leise, wie ein Gebet]
Let the darkness hold me tight,
‘Til I learn to birth my light.
I was blind, but now I see —
Grace lives in the gravity.
---
[Final Chorus – episch, mit Gospel-Unterton]
It was the fall that saved me,
Not the light that tried to raise me.
Through the ashes, through the plea —
I found the part that’s truly me.
It was the fall that saved me —
Brought me down…
to set me free.
