[Verse 1]
A boy with a dream, a six-string in hand,
He played every bar from Texas to the land,
Where the lights shine bright, but the shadows run deep,
Fame whispered his name, but stole his sleep.
[Chorus]
I lost it all, every dime, every friend,
Thought the high would hold, but it broke in the end.
I was empty, so empty, just a shell in the wind,
But I found God, and He let me begin again.
[Verse 2]
The stage was my altar, the crowd sang along,
But the echo was hollow when the music was gone.
A bottle for company, a pill for the pain,
I chased every pleasure, but it all felt the same.
[Prechorus]
Then I hit my knees, in the dead of the night,
Cried, "If You're there, won't You give me some light?"
[Chorus]
I lost it all, every dime, every friend,
Thought the high would hold, but it broke in the end.
I was empty, so empty, just a shell in the wind,
But I found God, and He let me begin again.
[Bridge]
Now the road ain't easy, but the weight's off my chest,
I traded my sorrow for a little bit of rest.
I see the sunrise, not just the fading dusk,
I found my whole life when I learned how to trust.
