hey, you / staring down /
searching for redemption /
stop running /
no more hiding /
a song plays for you /
listen to the sound /
you are forgiven /
hey, you / prophet boy /
with eyes / deeper than space & time /
you are more than enough /
let go /
destiny / about to begin /
feet on the starting line /
breathe in the mystic joy /
you are forgiven /
hey, you / lost boy /
begging / falling / broken /
you believed those lies /
so you told even more /
carried that shame /
despised / yourself /you hate /
the wound is open /
all the waves have crashed /
you are forgiven /
hey, you / longing for love /
gone / it flew away /
scraping / clawing / you drown /
let go / swallow the sky /
believe the prophecy /
listen to the sound /
it returns / from above /
you are forgiven /
