[INTRO] [VERSE 1] The room is still, the screen aglow, I listen to the pulse below. For years I ran in silence, fast, And barely knew my strength at last. I put too much upon your back, Through all those cold and heavy days. [PRE-CHORUS] Now I hold my breath awhile, And face the chaos, wild and wide. I sort the storm inside my head, Untie each knot, thread after thread. My journal's open on the page, It listens, never asks a thing. [CHORUS] Dear soul, I'm sorry now, For all that numb and hard-edged time. I forgot to ask you, how Much weight we're carrying tonight. Here you can rest; I'll hold you close, The morning light breaks through for us. [VERSE 2] One word set down, one word set free, A deeper cut through time's old weave. The darkened clouds inside my mind, I'll let them drift beyond the sky. I look my fears straight in the face, And see I can release their hold. [PRE-CHORUS] My journal's open on the page, It helps me carry through today. I sort the storm inside my head, Untie each knot, thread after thread. [CHORUS] Dear soul, I'm sorry now, For all that numb and hard-edged time. I forgot to ask you, how Much weight we're carrying tonight. Here you can rest; I'll hold you close, The morning light breaks through for us. [BRIDGE] Thoughts drift away like clouds in flight, Toward some far and quiet place. I write the sorrow from my soul, Until I choose my freedom whole. One sentence stays in morning red, A quiet promise, newly said... [FINAL] Dear soul, I'm sorry now, I'll give us both the time we need. I write it out, release it all, So I won't stand alone in dark. The fog gives way, the night is done, My soul can breathe; I'm quiet now. [OUTRO] I write it out, release my soul... And make a song. [Breathe] [CLICK] [END]
