With All My Heart

I've missed the laughter, the holidays

The light, the warmth of home, the games late at night

But I've been carrying a silence far too long

Trying to belong where I don't belong

I've worn a smile that wasn't mine to wear

Spoken half-truths show you I still care

But the weight of hiding's heavier than it seems

So I'm laying down the shame and chasing peace

With all my heart, I hope you hear me

Not just the words, but what's beneath

I'm not broken, I'm not lost

I've made my peace with God

I'm learning to love who I am inside

And I won't apologize

If you love me, love me whole

I'm still your son, your brother, your friend

I just can't pretend

With all my heart, I love you all

With all my heart

I found someone who sees me clear and true

He holds my hand the way I wish you do

And though you may not understand it all

I hope you'll love us both when I call

I'm not asking you to change your mind

Just to leave your fear and judgment behind

Let grace be bigger than the lines we draw

Let love be louder than the law

With all my heart, I hope you hear me

Not just the words, but what's beneath

I'm not broken, I'm not lost

I've made my peace with God

I'm learning to love who I am inside

And I won't apologize

If you love me, love me whole

I'm still your son, your brother, your friend

I just can't pretend

I'm not ashamed, I found my light

It took me years to feel this right

God didn't make a mistake with me

I am who I was born to be

With all my heart, I hope you hear me

Not just the words, but what's beneath

I'm not broken, I'm not lost

I've made my peace with God

I'm learning to love who I am inside

And I won't apologize

If you love me, love me whole

I'm still your son, your brother, your friend
