The Weight Of My Own Hands

I used to point at every storm and curse the falling rain

Blamed the world for every wound, for every hidden pain

But truth is like a mirror, it cuts before it heals

It shows the part of me I tried so hard to conceal

I can run, I can hide, I can sink in blame

But the road to freedom carries my name

I carry the weight of my own hands

No more excuses, I understand

If I want the light, I face the dark

Own my story, own my part

I carry the weight, I take the stand

I hold my life in my own hands

It's easy throwing shadows, so hard to face the sun

To fix what I've been breaking, to say the words I've run

But courage isn't anger, it's choosing what is true

And nothing ever changes if I don't change too

I can run, I can hide, I can drown in shame

But real redemption wears my name

I carry the weight of my own hands

No more excuses, I understand

If I want the light, I face the dark

Own my story, own my part

I carry the weight, I take the stand

I hold my life in my own hands

So I turn toward the damage

With a steady, quiet heart

Every wound I finally witness

Becomes a place to start

I carry the weight of my own hands

No more excuses, I understand

If I want the light, I face the dark

Own my story, own my part

I carry the weight, I take the stand

I hold my life in my own hands

No one else to be

I choose responsibility
