Lyrics
I don't like to admit when I'm wrong and need gifts of forgiveness instead of applause
I was dying to prove to myself I could make it alone, yeah
It took years to confess that your love was the best at unraveling all of my pride
Had to laugh at myself when I realized that you were my home
Give me the strength to let go
Give me the strength to surrender
Give me the strength to stop holding on
I've been holding on so long
Give me the strength to let go
And show me the way to come home
And show me the way to come home
Yeah, I'm stubborn and bold, but sometimes it gets old, fighting voices inside of my brain
I was trying to pretend I was fine when inside it was war
With the stumbling beat of my heart and my feet, and the faults of my failure and pain
To think all of this time, I had wings that were ready to soar
Give me the strength to let go
Give me the strength to surrender
Give me the strength to stop holding on
I've been holding on so long
Give me the strength to let go
And show me the way to come home
Show me the way to come home
Oh, love, light the way home
Light up my soul
I choose mercy instead of control
My life is on loan
Forgive and let go
I embrace a belief I don't know
What a beautiful sound
To lay your life down
Your forgiveness is where I am found
Here in your arms
I finally let down
I am lightning, and you are the ground
I am lightning, and you are the ground
Give me the strength to let go
Won't you give me the strength to surrender?
Come on, give me the strength to stop holding on
I've been holding on so long
Won't you give me the strength to let go?
And show me the way to come home
(I am lightning, and you are the ground)
Won't you show me the way to come home?
(I am lightning, and you are the ground)
Show me the way to come home
