[Spoken Intro – soft, reflective]
Healing starts alone…
But it never ends that way.
[Verse 1]
I walked this road by myself at first
Every mile was a blessing and a curse
Carried old scenes like broken glass
From ten, twenty years in my past
Some memories still held a sting
Anger, shame, and everything
But I climbed a little higher one day
Saw my life from far away
[Chorus]
I took an eagle’s view of the pain
Looked down without the blame
What once hurt me, I let it go
Changed the weight of what I know
I forgave you, I forgave me
Set that moment free
What was heavy lost its hold
From that height, the truth was gold
[Verse 2]
Funny how life don’t run straight
Every plan bends at the gate
I’ve never seen it turn out the way
I swore it would back yesterday
Sometimes worse, sometimes grace
But never the picture my mind would paint
So I quit trying to force the view
Started trusting what I can’t see through
[Chorus]
I took an eagle’s view of the past
Didn’t let the moment last
I took the lesson, dropped the chain
Let love take the place of pain
Forgiveness changed the energy
Turned wounds into memory
What I thought would break my soul
Just helped me finally let go
[Bridge – Gospel Lift]
Release don’t mean forget
It means peace ain’t failed you yet
Every shadow had a part
In shaping this softer heart
What’s ahead ain’t mine to know
Faith walks where sight won’t go
I stopped wrestling tomorrow
And laid it down with yesterday’s sorrow
[Final Chorus]
I take an eagle’s view of my life
Above the fear, above the fight
What I release don’t follow me
It turns into who I’m meant to be
I don’t control what’s yet to come
I trust the work already done
From this height, I finally see
What was meant for me found me
[Outro – gentle]
Some things you don’t change…
You rise above them.
