[Intro | slow electric guitar riff builds | drum buildup] [Verse 1 | gritty male rock vocal | wide vocal range] I was raised on hard edges Black and white on the page Every question got a warning Every doubt got a cage I kept my hands on the railing I kept my hands on the railing I kept my heart in a box But the box got small in the light of day And the truth came knocking hard [Pre-Chorus] Then I met a tired woman With a laugh and a scar She was wisdom and beauty A soul in which to confide She said, "Love's bigger than your labels" And it cracked me open wide [Chorus] Uh-oh to ah-ha Uh-oh to ah-ha I was living like fear was holy Now I know love's the law (love's the law) (Don't fall) For the Sin of Certainty You don't always know What you don't know Uh-oh to ah-ha Uh-oh to ah-ha No more fire in the distance Just a wide open door (wide open door) [Verse 2] I saw a kid at a bus stop Share his lunch with a stray I saw a man with nothing to lose Look the world in the eye Still choose kindness anyway I saw the world ain't tidy Saw grace can be dirty I saw mercy in the mess And it looked a lot like me [Pre-Chorus] So I laid down my tally marks All my thunder, all my doom And I let the room get louder With the love I tried to lose [Chorus] Uh-oh to ah-ha Uh-oh to ah-ha I was living like fear was holy Now I know love's the law (love's the law) (Don't you fall) For the Sin of Certainty You don't always know What you don't know Uh-oh to ah-ha Uh-oh to ah-ha No more fire in the distance Just a wide open door (wide open door) [Bridge] If your faith can hold a question Then your faith can hold me If God is bigger than my breaking Then let me breathe, let me breathe I don't need a wall of answers I need room to be alive I need dirt on my shoes I need wonder in my eyes [Final Chorus] Uh-oh to ah-ha Uh-oh to ah-ha I was living like fear was holy Now I know love's the law (love's the law) (Don't fall) For the Sin of Certainty You don't know it all It's a journey of discovery Uh-oh to ah-ha Uh-oh to ah-ha From the ash and from the ardour I can finally walk on (walk on) Breathe [Outro | smooth fade out]
