I didn't want to be Standing underneath Watching as the tower crumbled
I didn't want to be Left in the debris Struggling to step and stumble
It was everything to me A castle and a dream Cast into a home left hollow
It was everything to me Wasted and diseased I had to watch you burn it to the ground
I wanted what was mine Only what was mine The dust is settled now
But none of it was mine None of it was mine I'm letting it go
I know In the outer cold I never had control of nothing
I know I gotta let it go Running to the dawn that's rising
Now I'm ready to breathe Your light will soon be found As I'm ready to see I'm ready to see
I didn't want to see The fracture start To stretch out in the stone
I didn't want to see That it would've crushed me Crushed me on my throne
I wanted what was mine Only what was mine The dust is settled now
But none of it was mine None of it was mine I'm letting it go
I know In the outer cold I never had control of nothing
I know I gotta let it go Running to the dawn that's rising
Now I'm ready to breathe Your light will soon be found As I'm ready to see I'm ready to see
(I'm ready to see) I built a kingdom with these hands of mine (I'm ready to see) But this is the day it all comes down Now I take the world in through my opened eyes And there you are And there you are
Let the light in
Stone after stone So hollow the home Now fractured and tossed in the sea
I'm taking a hold I'll go where you go I'll follow the light that I see
I know In the outer cold I never had control of nothing
I know I gotta let it go Running to the dawn that's rising
Now I'm ready to breathe Your light will soon be found As I'm ready to see Surrending to the ground I'm ready to see I'm ready to see
