[Verse]
I've been running through shadows dark and wide
Chased by mistakes with no place to hide
But now I’m standing where the light shines through
Asking forgiveness for the things I do
[Chorus]
I’m reaching upward hands in the air
Closer to God laying my soul bare
To my son my love my heart back then
To my future wife let me start again
[Verse 2]
Each step forward feels like a climb
Heavy with regrets left behind in time
But with every prayer and every sigh
I find the courage to hold my head high
[Chorus]
I’m reaching upward hands in the air
Closer to God laying my soul bare
To my son my love my heart back then
To my future wife let me start again
[Bridge]
I’ve been broken yet I’ve been strong
Righting the rights while mending wrongs
This path I’m walking might not be straight
But it’s paved in love and hope not hate
[Chorus]
I’m reaching upward hands in the air
Closer to God laying my soul bare
To my son my love my heart back then
To my future wife let me start again
