[Intro]
[gothic violin swells]
Shadows in my room
Hands over my face
Clock stuck at 3
Heart stuck in place
[Verse 1]
Used to wake up shaking
Sweat cold on my spine
Afraid of the morning
Afraid of the grind
Walked through my hometown
Like a war in my mind
Every open door
Felt like landmines
Fear in my throat
Fear in my hands
Scared of the mirror
Scared of a plan
Change looked like falling
Off the edge of the map
So I curled in the corner
Let the dark talk back
[Chorus]
Fear once controlled my life
Chained my breath, caged my eyes
Afraid of the world, afraid of time
Afraid of losing, afraid to try
But Your grace has lifted me
God’s Grace has set me free
From all those nightmares haunting me
God’s Grace has set me free
[Verse 2]
I remember that hallway
Lights humming too bright
Couldn’t step through the doorway
Heart locked in a fight
Phone full of numbers
Still felt alone
Whole crowd around me
Still carved from stone
Then I dropped to my knees
Didn’t have sweet words
Just a tangled “help”
And a soul that hurt
Felt a quiet thunder
Cutting through the noise
Like a hand on my shoulder
And a different voice
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[drums drop to half-time]
I was afraid of life
Afraid to breathe
Afraid of love
Afraid to leave
Afraid of change
Afraid of me
’Til You broke those bars
And gave me peace
[Chorus]
