Title: Drowning (Letting Go) Verse 1: I reach for light above the waterline, My own hands holding me below, It’s hard to float when you’re tied to the past— But forgiveness is learning to let go. I swallow silence, heavy as the deep, Bitter currents swirling in my chest, Breathless as sinking, I hold on to the pain, Weighted by the grudges I won’t rest. Pre-Chorus: I tell myself I’m safer anchored here, But the darkness only grows— Longing for the rush of air, Still clinging to the stones. Chorus: I’m drowning in the longing to let go, Imprisoned by the weight inside of me, I’m drowning… I can never get free— Breathless as sinking, lost beneath the sea, If I could break the surface, breathe again, Maybe I’d learn what it means to live. Verse 2: I see your shadow flicker through the waves, Memories drift just out of reach, I want to rise, unclench these desperate hands, But bitterness has lessons left to teach. Pre-Chorus: The truth is mercy’s not a feeling— It’s a choice you make and make again, And every time I choose to clutch my hurt, I build the prison I remain within. Bridge: If I let go… will I lose myself? Am I wrong… to want them to pay? I hold the scales in trembling hands— But grace won’t flow where I refuse to open… my soul… Maybe I don’t have to judge today. Maybe… I should let God decide for me. God’s forgiveness waits on mine— If I choose to hold another’s sins… I’m the one forever left behind. Chorus (variation): I’m drowning in the longing to let go, Learning that forgiveness sets me free, Breathless as sinking, lost beneath the sea, If I could rise, let the current take What never belonged to me— Outro: So I reach for light above the waterline, Release the stones I’ve carried so long, Maybe the miracle is letting go— And finding, at last, I belong.
