(Genre: Pop/Folk/Rock)-----(Verse 1 - Male Voice) Good morning, I'm grateful I'm here Another day to conquer the fear But these last few weeks have been heavy, it's true A burden I didn't know what to do with. I know there is good in the trial, I see But the stress and the heartache are weighing on me. Feels like a test, a necessary pain To see if I'll choose the sun or the rain. (Pre-Chorus - Female Voice) I've been holding the world and the light in my hands Trying to walk on two different sands. A slow, gradual process, I finally admit It's time to stop fighting, it's time to just quit Leaning on things that will crumble and fade... (Chorus - Male & Female Duet) (Tempo lifts, Fiddle and Triangle enter, Snare hits hard, Bass drives) Oh, I'm ready to listen, ready to start! Let go of the world, put the trust in my heart! I hold nothing back now, every fear is undone, I'm choosing the joy, I'm choosing the sun! Everything's yours now, I surrender it all, I’m answering the deepest, the truest call! (Verse 2 - Male Voice) I've fallen for traps, more often than I'd say Tried to medicate the struggle away. I'm seeing it clearly, the test I must pass, Will I lean on the world, or will I hold fast? Grateful for blessings, like serving those in need, Creating a space where joy can breed, To feel heard and listened to, to find joy in my soul, That's how I know you're making me whole. (Pre-Chorus - Female Voice) I've been holding the world and the light in my hands Trying to walk on two different sands. A slow, gradual process, I finally admit It's time to stop fighting, it's time to just quit Leaning on things that will crumble and fade... (Chorus - Male & Female Duet) (Fiddle and Triangle soar, Snare/Bass) Oh, I'm ready to listen, ready to start! Let go of the world, put the trust in my heart! I hold nothing back now, every fear is undone, I'm choosing the joy, I'm choosing the sun! Everything's yours now, I surrender it all, I’m answering the deepest, the truest call! (Bridge - Male Voice, then Female Harmony) Here I am, Abba, ready to finally listen. I’m done with the fight, I'm done with the friction. (Female joins) No more looking back, no more holding on tight, Just leaning into the grace and the light. (Chorus - Male & Female Duet) (Full power, Fiddle soloing lightly, heavy Snare/Bass) Oh, I'm ready to listen, ready to start! Let go of the world, put the trust in my heart! I hold nothing back now, every fear is undone, I'm choosing the joy, I'm choosing the sun! Everything's yours now, I surrender it all, I’m answering the deepest, the truest call! (Outro - Both Voices, fading with Fiddle/Triangle) All is yours. All is yours. Ready to finally listen. (Music fades out)
