**Verse 1** I’ve been running through the hours Chasing light that will not stay My pulse keeps time beneath me Even when I lose the way The whole world keeps on turning While I’m learning how to slow There are things I cannot carry If I never let them go **Pre-Chorus** So tonight I won’t outrun it I won’t force myself through I can lay the weight beside me And still wake up as me **Chorus** Let me rest, let me rest Underneath the quiet sky Let the tiredness leave my bones One breath at a time I’m not giving up the road I’m just setting down the fight I’ll surrender to the stillness But I’m coming back with light **Verse 2** The storm has left its fingerprints The rain still hums beneath my skin A thousand tangled threads of thought I don’t have to solve again I’m a clock without its hands now But the morning still will come And a compass can remember north When all the spinning’s done **Pre-Chorus** I don’t have to mend it all now I don’t have to know the end Sometimes strength is staying still enough To hear yourself again **Chorus** Let me rest, let me rest Underneath the quiet sky Let the tiredness leave my bones One breath at a time I’m not giving up the road I’m just setting down the fight I’ll surrender to the stillness But I’m coming back with light **Bridge** There is something underneath this Still alive, still holding on Not a flame that needs to roar yet Just an ember before dawn Let the dark become a shelter Not a place where I disappear I can bend without surrender I can rest and still be here **Final Chorus** Let me rest, let me rest Let the night release its hold Let the silence make some room For the strength I used to know I’m not finished, I’m not falling I’m just healing out of sight Let the dawn come when it’s ready I’ll be there to meet the light **Outro** I’ll be there I’ll be there When the morning finds the room I’ll be there Still becoming Still returning Still in bloom
