*(Verse 1)*
You whispered warnings in the morning light
Painted signs across my path so clear
But stubborn as a child, I closed my eyes
And chose the road that led me far from here
You said the thorns would pierce, the ground would shake
You said the emptiness would swallow whole
But I was young and foolish in my pride
And thought I knew the journey of my soul
*(Chorus)*
Round and round I went in circles
Chasing shadows through the pain
Every door I opened wide
Was another set of chains inside
But You never looked away
Never let me drift too far
Through the darkness, through the breaking
You were holding every scar
*(Verse 2)*
The cycle spun like seasons without end
Each mistake an echo of the last
I'd stumble, fall, then promise to ascend
But found myself repeating all my past
The mirror showed a stranger's weary face
The dreams I'd built came crumbling like sand
Yet somewhere in the wreckage and disgrace
I felt the gentle pressure of Your hand
*(Chorus)*
Round and round I went in circles
Chasing shadows, chasing pain
Every door I opened wide
Was another set of chains inside
But You never looked away
Never let me drift too far
Through the silence, through the breaking
You were healing every scar
*(Bridge)*
Then morning broke different than before
The fog that clouded vision cleared away
I saw the truth I'd been running from
The love that stayed through every yesterday
You never moved, never turned Your face
While I was lost, You were standing still
Waiting patient for my pride to break
Patient, You outwaited my stubborn will
*(Final Chorus)*
Now I'm walking straight, not circles
Found the peace beyond the pain
Every door You said would free me
Breaks another heavy chain
Thank You that You never looked away
Never let me fall too far
Through my darkness, through my breaking
You were mending every scar
*(Outro)*
You told me all but I couldn't see,
Like a child, blind to what would be.
Now I rise in endless light,
Held forever in Your sight.
You never let me go
You never let me go – I'm finally home.
