Liberty On My Mind
Lyrics
Verse 1
I used to argue with my own head
Staring at the ceiling, wishing I was dead
Pockets full of poison, heart full of rain
Tried to numb the memory, just to kill the pain
Every old mistake had a name in my chest
Every little lie had me feeling unrest
I kept running from the kid I used to be
Till the dark got loud and it started to eat me
I hit the edge, then I heard that call
One real hand reached through my fall
Told me breathe, told me stay, told me try
Said the worst of your story is not your whole life
Pre-Chorus
I was buried in the smoke
Now I’m learning how to hope
I’m letting go, I’m letting go
Of the weight I used to know
Chorus
I’m still here, I’m still here
(Still here)
I found light through the fear
(Through the fear)
I’m still here, I’m still here
(Still here)
Life is worth living, clear
(So clear)
Verse 2
Now the mornings hit different when I open my eyes
No more chasing ghosts in a bottle disguised
I made peace with the wreckage, I faced what I did
Found a man in the rubble where the shame used to live
Liberty Recovery, you gave me a door
Gave me space to believe I could want more
Taught me one step at a time, one truth at a time
That I can rebuild my name with a new state of mind
I learned my past can’t own what I choose
I learned healing takes work, but I’m worth the bruise
Now I pray for the boys still lost in the haze
That they find what I found in a different place
Pre-Chorus
I was buried in the smoke
Now I’m learning how to hope
I’m letting go, I’m letting go
Of the weight I used to know
Chorus
I’m still here, I’m still here
(Still here)
I found light through the fear
(Through the fear)
I’m still here, I’m still here
(Still here)
Life is worth living, clear
(So clear)
Bridge
If you’re drowning in your own name
If the night keeps saying stay
Take my hand, don’t disappear
There’s another way from here
I was lost, now I can see
What was chains is now release
Thank you, Liberty, for the chance
To leave behind that broken land
Final Chorus
I’m still here, I’m still here
(Still here)
I found light through the fear
(Through the fear)
I’m still here, I’m still here
(Still here)
Life is worth living, clear
(So clear)
I’m still here, I’m still here
(I’m still here)
And I’m grateful every year
(Every year)
