[Verse 1]
Acceptance is the tear
Running down my face
Then clear
I’ve been holding every storm
’til the thunder turned to form
Every shaking in my chest
Every night I couldn’t rest
I just let it overflow
And somehow it made space to grow
[Chorus]
Acceptance is the tear
Falling
Falling into peace
I’m breaking as I heal
But the breaking brings release
Forgiveness is the flame
I’m feeding it my grief
Gratitude the mirror
Where I finally see relief
[Verse 2]
Forgiveness is the flame
Where I whisper every name
All the shadows in my veins
Slowly softening their claims
I was aching for control
But I’m opening my hold
Every ember in the dark
Tracing halos round my scars
[Chorus]
Acceptance is the tear
Falling
Falling into peace
I’m breaking as I heal
But the breaking brings release
Forgiveness is the flame
I’m feeding it my grief
Gratitude the mirror
Where I finally see relief
[Bridge]
Gratitude the mirror
Pulling all the light in
Every quiet blessing
Shining through the cracks of my skin
I turn toward the shimmer
I turn toward the glow (oh)
What I thought was only ruin
Was a garden all along
[Chorus]
Acceptance is the tear
Falling
Falling into peace
I’m breaking as I heal
But the breaking brings release
Forgiveness is the flame
I’m feeding it my grief
Gratitude the mirror
Where I finally breathe
Finally see
I am held inside this peace
