[Verse 1] In stillness, I release the weight I carried The quiet opens, tender and clear Every closed door turns toward morning Every frightened thought grows small here [Pre-Chorus] I breathe, and the horizon widens I breathe, and the silence turns kind [Chorus] Carry me upward, gentle as air Lift every burden beyond my care Into the brightness, open and wide Peace is the river, and I enter its tide [Verse 2] A silver path unfolds beneath me Soft as a promise, calm as a prayer Faraway voices gather around me Warm as a hand resting lightly there [Pre-Chorus] I breathe, and the horizon widens I breathe, and the silence turns kind [Chorus] Carry me upward, gentle as air Lift every burden beyond my care Into the brightness, open and wide Peace is the river, and I enter its tide [Bridge] No more dividing, no more return Nothing to prove and nothing to earn Here in the stillness, my heart understands Light is not distant; it rests in my hands [Final Chorus] Carry me upward, gentle as air Lift every sorrow beyond my care Into the brightness, open and wide Grace is the river, and I enter its tide [Outro] I am becoming quiet I am becoming clear The endless light surrounds me And peace is resting here
