Palms to the Sky (Take the Wheel Mix)

[Verse 1] They called me in on a Monday Said, “We hate to let you go” I packed ten years in a cardboard box And took the long way home Left it sitting in the backseat Didn’t know what I would say She looked at me across that kitchen table Like something had changed that day I said, “Baby, we’ll get through this” She said, “I hope you’re right” But there was something in the way she said it That kept me up that night [Pre-Chorus] When you’ve done all you can do And there’s nothing left to try Sometimes all that’s left is letting go… And raising your hands up high [CHORUS] Palms to the sky Palms to the sky When I can’t find a way I know He’ll make one in time Palms to the sky Let go and let God tonight I may not know where I’m going But I know I’ll be alright Palms to the sky Palms to the sky [Post-Chorus] Ohhh… let it go Let God take the wheel tonight Palms to the sky ⸻ [Verse 2] Then the doctor started talking Using words I didn’t wanna hear My body wasn’t what it used to be And I started living scared Funny how when trouble finds you You find out who comes around Some blood I thought would stand beside me Were nowhere to be found I tried being strong for everybody Till strong was just a lie One night I walked out on that back porch Looked up and asked Him why [Pre-Chorus] I’d been holding on so tightly Trying to fix this life of mine Then I opened up these empty hands… And raised ’em to the sky [CHORUS] Palms to the sky Palms to the sky When I can’t find a way I know He’ll make one in time Palms to the sky Let go and let God tonight I may not know where I’m going But I know I’ll be alright Palms to the sky Palms to the sky [Post-Chorus] Ohhh… let it go Let God take the wheel tonight Palms to the sky ⸻ [Bridge — stripped down] Maybe faith ain’t moving mountains Maybe faith is standing still When every part of you is screaming That you’ve had about your fill Maybe praise ain’t “Hallelujah” When everything’s going right Maybe praise is saying, “I still trust You” On the worst night of your life [Break — nearly a cappella] So when I can’t carry the weight… When I can’t understand the why… I know what to do now. ⸻ [FINAL CHORUS — Full Band] Palms to the sky Palms to the sky When I can’t find a way I know He’ll make one in time Palms to the sky Let go and let God tonight I may not know where I’m going But I know I’ll be alright Palms to the sky Palms to the sky [Post-Chorus — vocal harmonies] Ohhh… let it go Let God take the wheel tonight Palms to the sky Yeah, whatever comes tomorrow… I know I’ll be alright Palms… to the sky.
