*Verse 1* I used to carry anger Like a fire in my chest, Every wrong thing in this world Was another thing I hated best. I fought against the darkness, I cursed the things I couldn't change, I thought if I could scream loud enough I'd somehow rearrange. Then I found myself alone one night, With nothing left to say. All that anger turned to sorrow And the light began to fade. I sank into a darkness I couldn't understand, And somewhere in the silence I reached out for His hand. *Chorus* **I was angry till I found God, Then I was broken for a while. I couldn't see the road ahead, Couldn't even fake a smile. But somewhere in the darkness, I heard a voice say, “Child, hold on.” And now I see the world around me Coming crashing down. The walls are shaking, The foundations crack, Everybody's running But they don't know where they're going back. And I'm still standing, Trying to understand— Maybe all this falling apart Isn't outside His plan.** *Verse 2* I look around the cities, I look around the streets, Everybody's chasing something Just to keep from facing defeat. Truth gets traded for opinions, Love gets buried underneath pride, And everybody's building walls With nothing left inside. I used to think the world was broken Because somebody broke the rules. Now I think we're watching something deeper— People forgetting who made them and who rules. And sometimes that realization Can make the old pain return, But I don't want to live in anger. **I've learned from what I've burned.** *Chorus* **I was angry till I found God, Then I was broken for a while. I couldn't see the road ahead, Couldn't even fake a smile. But somewhere in the darkness, I heard a voice say, “Child, hold on.” And now I see the world around me Coming crashing down. The walls are shaking, The foundations crack, Everybody's running But they don't know where they're going back. And I'm still standing, Trying to understand— Maybe all this falling apart Isn't outside His plan.** *Bridge* I'm not saying I don't fear it. I'm not saying I don't cry. I'm not saying I understand Every reason why. But I know where I was standing When my whole world came undone. I was angry. I was empty. Then I found the Son. So if the world keeps shaking, If the darkness fills the sky, I'll remember what He told me: **Don't be afraid. I'm still alive.** *Final Chorus* **I was angry till I found God, I was drowning in my pain. I thought the darkness had won And nothing would remain. But He found me in the ashes, He found me when I fell, And He taught me that the broken Can still have a story to tell. Now I see the world around me Coming crashing down. I see the fear. I see the hatred. I see the lost all running 'round. But I won't go back to anger. I won't surrender to despair. If the whole world loses its way, I'll still know who's there. Let the kingdoms shake. Let the mountains fall. Let the proud discover They're not in control at all. I've been angry. I've been broken. I've been lost beneath the weight. But God found me in the darkness— **And I'm still standing here today.** *Outro* So if you see me looking upward While the world begins to fall, It's not because I have no fear. **It's because I finally know who holds it all.**
