Walking With The Shadows

(Verse 1)

I was walking with the shadows, heavy on my back,

Carrying the memories of the things I can’t get back.

Every word that cut me deep, every promise turned to dust,

Built walls around my heartbeat, made it hard for me to trust.

But a whisper in the quiet said, “You were made for more than pain.”

And I felt the light beginning, calling me to rise again.

(Pre-Chorus)

So I laid down every burden that was weighing down my soul,

Took one step toward healing, and the pieces felt more whole…

(Chorus)

I’m breaking free—

From the hurt, from the anger, from the nights I couldn’t sleep.

Letting go—

Of the past, of the echoes that kept haunting over me.

There’s a fire inside, rising higher inside,

Love is pulling me out of the dark.

I’m choosing hope,

I’m choosing grace—

Forgiveness rewriting my heart.

(Verse 2)

I learned that holding on to bitterness is just another cage,

And freedom only blossoms when you let go of the rage.

So I opened up the windows, let compassion fill the air,

Found the courage to surrender what was never mine to bear.

And the light poured in like morning, washed away the night before,

Showed me love’s the quiet power that can heal the deepest war.

(Pre-Chorus)

I can feel my spirit rising as the old chains start to fall,

Love is stronger than the breaking—stronger than it all.

(Chorus)

I’m breaking free—

From the hurt, from the anger, from the years that stole my peace.

Letting go—

Of the fear, of the shadows that kept tightening their grip on me.

There’s a fire inside, rising higher inside,

Love is pulling me out of the dark.

I’m choosing hope,

I’m choosing grace—

Forgiveness rewriting my heart.

(Bridge)

No more living in the ruins, no more drowning in regret,

I’m stepping into mercy now—I’m learning to forget.

‘Cause forgiveness isn’t weakness; it’s the bravest thing you do,

It’s the doorway into freedom, it’s the way that love breaks through.

(Final Chorus)

I’m breaking free—

From the hurt, from the anger, from the weight I used to keep.

Letting go—

Of the past, ‘cause love’s stronger than the scars it left on me.

There’s a fire inside, rising higher inside,

New beginnings born out of the dark.

I’m choosing hope,

I’m choosing grace—

Forgiveness rewriting my heart.

Yeah, forgiveness rewriting my heart.
