Unburdened

(Verse 1)

I'm standing here, at the wall again,

With the taste of sin, the weight of regret.

I hate the way I just gave in,

After all the months that I had fought to win.

My weakest self was easily led,

I let the hunger fill my head.

Pre-Chorus

I know I'm not a prisoner to the chain,

But I just lingered, stayed too long in the rain.

I allowed myself to pause when I should have run,

And lingering is what led to coming undone.

Chorus

Your strength is the only reason I can stand,

Unburdened, rebuilt, with this new day in my hand.

Today is a new day to stand and fight,

To shake off the darkness, and walk into the light.

You are my solid rock, my foundation,

I'm back in the battle, rejecting all the shame and hesitation.

Verse 2

The aftershocks are slowing now,

The chemical reaction on my brow.

A rush the body very much enjoys,

A dangerous game of chasing empty joys.

The high is gone, but it lowered my defense,

A warning sign of action without common sense.

Pre-Chorus

I know I'm not a prisoner to the chain,

But I just lingered, stayed too long in the rain.

I allowed myself to pause when I should have run,

And lingering is what led to coming undone.

Chorus

Your strength is the only reason I can stand,

Unburdened, rebuilt, with this new day in my hand.

Today is a new day to stand and fight,

To shake off the darkness, and walk into the light.

You are my solid rock, my foundation,

I'm back in the battle, rejecting all the shame and hesitation.

Bridge

I turned around, I didn't hide,

Thankful I didn't run away like before.

That lingering look, that single little thing,

Can light a fire of impulse that rages and consumes.

But my will is my own, and it already belongs to me!

The darkness can't have it, I'm shaking free from its lies,

I'm choosing this day to walk tall with fire in my eyes!

Chorus

Your strength is the only reason I can stand,

Unburdened, rebuilt, with this new day in my hand.

Today is a new day to stand and fight,

To shake off the darkness, and walk into the light.

You are my solid rock, my foundation,

I'm back in the battle, rejecting all the shame and hesitation.

Outro

Unburdened...

New day in my hand...

Walk into the light...

Rebuilt...
