So I’m letting go

(Verse 1)

Midnight thoughts got me pacing the floor

Old shadows knocking like they know my name

I wore the weight of my younger years

Like a coat of blame I couldn’t take off

But I hear a whisper in the quiet now

Saying, “Lift your head, don’t look back”

Every scar tells me I survived

Yeah, I’m stronger than the past

(Bridge)

I’ve been shaking, I’ve been breaking

But I’m still standing here

Every tear taught me something

I don’t disappear

(Chorus)

So I’m letting go of the fear tonight

I’m trading shame for a steady light

I won’t drown in what tried to pull me under

I’ve got peace you can’t take away

Not the kind the world tries to fake

When my heart gets weak, I remember

I’m not alone, I’m held together

I won’t fall apart, no, I won’t surrender

(Verse 2)

They talk loud, but they don’t know me

Throw stones from a distance, but they can’t see

I don’t flinch when the headlines shake

My trust runs deeper than what they say

I’ve been down in the valley low

Learned how to pray with a broken voice

Found my strength when I had no choice

That’s power you can’t destroy

(Bridge)

I was scared, yeah, I admit it

But faith pulled me through

When the night said I was finished

Hope said, “You’re not through”

(Chorus)

So I’m letting go of the fear tonight

I’m trading shame for a steady light

I won’t drown in what tried to pull me under

I’ve got peace you can’t take away

Not the kind the world tries to fake

When my heart gets weak, I remember

I’m not alone, I’m held together

I won’t fall apart, no, I won’t surrender

(Verse)

If I’m trembling, I still believe

If I’m hurting, You’re holding me

Right hand steady, pulling me close

Saying, “Don’t be afraid, I’ve got you”

Even when I don’t understand

Every road is still in Your hands

I’ll wait right here, take heart, stand tall

I won’t run when You call

(Bridge)

What can they do to me now?

I’ve already been broken and found

Still breathing, still believing

Still standing my ground

(Chorus)

So I’m letting go of the fear tonight

I’m trading shame for a steady light

I won’t drown in what tried to pull me under

I’ve got peace you can’t take away

Not the kind the world tries to fake

When my heart gets weak, I remember

I’m not alone, I’m held together

I won’t fall apart, no, I won’t surrender

(Bridge)

I grew up with my head hung low, scars I couldn’t outrun

Shame in my rearview, thought the worst was what I’d become

Voices in my head say, “Boy, you’ll never escape”

But I heard Heaven whisper, you will not be put to shame

(Final Chorus)

Yeah, I’m letting go of the fear tonight

I’m walking straight into the light

Every step says I’m chosen, not forsaken

I’ve got courage in my veins

Hope rising through the pain

If the storm comes, I won’t shake, no

I’ll stand firm, I’ll stay faithful

I’m not afraid—no, not anymore

(Outro)

Today is what I was made for

Every trial just made me braver

I won’t sit still, I won’t stay small

I rise up when and see him in awe
