VERSE 1 I’ve been walking through the valley, With the dust still in my eyes. Every step a quiet promise That I won’t give up the fight. VERSE 2 There were nights the darkness held me, Tried to pull me to my knees. But a spark kept burning in me— Saying, “Rise, you’re meant to be free.” REFRAIN 1 (Searching) Oh, carry me, carry me, Through the storm I’m walking in. Let the road ahead remind me There’s a place where hope begins. VERSE 3 When the shadows closed around me, And the world felt cold and wide, I could feel Your voice inside me— Saying, “Son, I’m by your side.” VERSE 4 (NEW — Momentum) Now the dawn is breaking open, And the wind begins to rise. I can feel my strength returning, Like a fire in my spine. REFRAIN 2 (Rising) Oh, carry me, carry me, Till the night falls far behind. Let the light ahead reveal me, Show the man I’m meant to find. BRIDGE Not in thunder, not in lightning, But in quiet, steady flame— There I found my courage waking, There I heard You call my name. FINAL REFRAIN (Becoming) Oh, carry me, carry me, Till I stand beneath the sky. For I know Your hand is with me, And I’m done with asking why.
