V5.5

[Intro] [Soft piano, gentle organ swell] [Verse 1] I had my back against the wall No more pride left to fall Every door I tried was closed Every road I walked felt cold I cried out in the dark that night Not even sure I still had fight Then something quiet spoke my name And nothing ever felt the same [Chorus] When I finally looked up The light broke through the clouds When I finally looked up I didn’t have to figure it out All the weight I carried alone Was never mine to hold When I finally looked up I found I wasn’t on my own [Verse 2] I spent so long running from grace Thought I had to fix my own mistakes Kept my head down, locked my heart Afraid to let the healing start But mercy met me where I stood In the middle of my “not good enough” And for the first time in a long time I felt hope begin to climb [Chorus] When I finally looked up The light broke through the clouds When I finally looked up I didn’t have to figure it out All the weight I carried alone Was never mine to hold When I finally looked up I found I wasn’t on my own [Bridge] I don’t have all the answers I still have scars and doubts But I know who holds tomorrow And that is enough for now [Final Chorus] When I finally looked up The light broke through the clouds When I finally looked up I didn’t have to figure it out All the weight I carried alone Was never mine to hold When I finally looked up I found I wasn’t… on my own [Outro] (Looked up…) (Wasn’t on my own…)
