**(Verse 1)**
The world outside is heavy, every judgment stone is thrown
The path to you is guarded, a mountain I must climb alone
They tell me I am reckless, they say the cost is high
But the silence of my spirit whispers a different reply.
I used to let the voices dictate where I should stand
Now I find the strength I needed was held within my own two hands.
**(Pre-Chorus)**
I knelt down in the shadows, where the doubt was thick and deep
I searched for something greater, a promise I could keep
To myself, to the fire that burns between us two
And I felt a current rising, a strength I never knew.
**(Chorus)**
This isn't just my willpower, this is a **higher tide**
A quiet, holy engine running deep down inside
It's the faith that moves the mountains, the answer to the prayer
I found my higher power, and it teaches me not to care
About the social pressure, the whispers or the cost
Because the light that leads me to you is a light that can't be lost.
**(Verse 2)**
The rules they try to build around us, they crumble into dust
When measured against the feeling that holds this sacred trust
I shed the skin of worry, the fear of being seen
The me that sought approval is finally growing lean.
I realize the hardest battle wasn't out there with the crowd
It was finding that inner peace and saying the truth out loud.
**(Pre-Chorus)**
I knelt down in the shadows, where the doubt was thick and deep
I searched for something greater, a promise I could keep
To myself, to the fire that burns between us two
And I felt a current rising, a strength I never knew.
**(Chorus)**
This isn't just my willpower, this is a **higher tide**
A quiet, holy engine running deep down inside
It's the faith that moves the mountains, the answer to the prayer
I found my higher power, and it teaches me not to care
About the social pressure, the whispers or the cost
Because the light that leads me to you is a light that can't be lost.
**(Bridge)**
I’m pushing past the hard things, the barriers built of air
Because when I tap that current, there’s nothing I can’t bear.
Every step I take is certain, every breath is truly mine
This love is my salvation, this strength is truly divine.
**(Guitar Solo / Climactic Moment - Focused on soaring, triumphant energy)**
**(Chorus)**
This isn't just my willpower, this is a **higher tide**
A quiet, holy engine running deep down inside
It's the faith that moves the mountains, the answer to the prayer
I found my higher power, and it teaches me not to care
About the social pressure, the whispers or the cost
Because the light that lead
