[Verse 1]

I've spent billions of seconds, thousands of dollars

Trillions of mind trains thinkin' of a lover

Just to find things changed, rearranged, slaughtered

The picture in my head fades, a bond no longer

Everything I ever dreamed, everything that I believed

Was it only fantasy? Was she ever meant to be?

Lately, I've been askin' God, "What's the reason?"

'Cause comin' from a breakup, it's like I'm in my breakout season

This ain't my rest in peace, boy, it's the recipe

I take my pain and breathe and know that's meant for me

I'm made to soar and leap over these enemies

That pray I fall too deep in these discrepancies

Destructive waves increases in these pillow sheets

The place that she would sleep is now an empty seat

I filled that spot with Jesus, He that centerpiece

Delivered me from leavin' every door and key


[Pre-Chorus]

I'm on my way, I'm on my way

I don't wanna be held back no more, no more (Uh)

Yeah, I'm on my way, I'm on my way

I don't wanna be held back no more, no more, yeah


[Chorus]

I tell all of my family that

I don't need to worry 'bout a thing this time

And forever, I'm finally free

It's why I'm stayin' confident

His promises, I won't forget


[Verse 2]

If life was easy, would it really be life?

Would light exist without darkness all in the night?

Are we human if we never shed blood or plight?

Can we relate if we never share what's on our minds?

I always wanted to be perfect, follow all of the lines

I realized that perfection is a fragment of lies

So every day, I put my left foot in front of my right

And trust God He gon' take care the rest of my time

Now tell me, "What are you afraid of, huh?

Every moment is a new one, huh

We need a little patience, huh

Why you worried 'bout losin', huh?"

Come on, I got a King who got my back, a sniper who hits precise

Clutch like Steph Curry, except He stands with might

Movin' over the mountains

A man made of light

My sins paid, we ride

In His name, we fly


[Pre-Chorus]

I'm on my way, I'm on my way

I don't wanna be held back no more, no more (Uh)

Yeah, I'm on my way, I'm on my way

I don't wanna be held back no more, no more, yeah


[Chorus]

I tell all of my family that

I don't need to worry 'bout a thing this time

And forever, I'm finally free

It's why I'm stayin' confident

His promises, I won't forget

'Cause I tell all of my family that

I don't need to worry 'bout a thing this time

And forever, I'm finally free

It's why I'm stayin' confident

His promises, I won't forget
