Out of the Shadows

[Intro]
Silent mornings, heavy hearts,
Walking shadows ‘cross my mind.
Hope feels lost, just out of reach,
Trying to find some peace in time.

[Verse 1]
Wake up, go through the motions,
Living life in quiet despair.
Mask my cracks with a smile,
Hiding all the pain I bear.
Thoughts of unrest and longing,
For a break from this endless night.
Can’t escape the feeling,
Of a life that isn’t right.

[Pre-Chorus]
I wonder if there's more beyond this,
A spark in the darkness, a different path.
Fighting silent battles daily,
Just trying not to crack.

[Chorus]
Help me find my way back to You,
Lost in shadows I can't see.
Praying for a healing light,
A chance to break free.
God, I need You now, I’m crying out,
From this lonely, aching heart.
Save me from this hopelessness,
And help me make a brand new start.

[Bridge]
Walking through the storm alone,
Feeling like I’ve fallen far.
But I hear a distant whisper,
A gentle reminder, who You are.
Even in my darkest hour,
Your love still finds a way.
Bringing hope, replacing sorrow,
Turning night into day.

[Verse 1]
I don't know how no one in this place
Can't see through the fake smile on my face
It hurts to sleep or be awake
I'm in pain every breath I take
Driving down the street headlights coming
How can I get out of this hell
Can’t escape the feeling,
Of a life that it isn't ending well.

[Pre-Chorus]
I wonder if there's more beyond this,
A spark in the darkness, a different path.
Fighting silent battles daily,
Just trying not to crack.

[Chorus]
Help me find my way back to You,
Lost in shadows I can't see.
Praying for a healing light,
A chance to break free.
God, I need You now, I’m crying out,
From this lonely, aching heart.
Save me from this hopelessness,
And help me make a brand new start.

[Bridge]
Walking through the storm alone,
Feeling like I’ve fallen far.
But I hear a distant whisper,
A gentle reminder, who You are.
Even in my darkest hour,
Your love still finds a way.
Bringing hope, replacing sorrow,
Turning night into day.

[Outro]
So here I stand, still broken,
But I believe in the dawn.
Hold my hand, lift me higher,
Help me carry on.
