Verse 1 — The Reckoning
I can see the morning rise,
Another day, another fight.
Built a dream on faith and steel,
Now I’m staring at what’s real.
Towers silent, circuits down,
Empty rooms in a little town.
Years of work and debts to pay,
Watching what I built give way.
Chorus — The Choice
Finger off the trigger,
Hands open to the sky.
I’ve been fighting every battle,
Like the world was mine to drive.
I’ve been wounded, I’ve been weary,
I’ve been wrong and I’ve been proud.
But I won’t surrender to the darkness,
And I won’t let fear rule now.
Verse 2 — The Weight
People trusted, people gone,
Promises that carried on.
Bills are waiting, daylight fades,
Counting every choice I’ve made.
Some betrayed and some just failed,
Somewhere my own judgment failed.
I can’t change what’s come before,
But I won’t live that way anymore.
Chorus — The Choice
Finger off the trigger,
Hands open to the sky.
I’ve been fighting every battle,
Like the world was mine to drive.
I’ve been wounded, I’ve been weary,
I’ve been wrong and I’ve been proud.
But I won’t surrender to the darkness,
And I won’t let fear rule now.
Bridge — The Surrender
Lord, I thought I had to carry
Every burden, every stone.
Thought that if I kept on working,
I could bring the whole thing home.
But You never asked for kingdoms,
Built upon my strength alone.
You asked me to walk beside You,
Trusting what I cannot know.
Final Verse — The Road Ahead
There’s a woman waiting for me,
There’s a life beyond these walls.
There are people still worth serving,
Even if this kingdom falls.
I’m not finished, I’m not fearless,
I’m not everything I dreamed.
But the mercy of my Savior
Is greater than the wreckage I’ve seen.
Final Chorus — The Resolve
Finger off the trigger,
Lay the burden on the ground.
I don’t have to win each battle,
To be faithful standing now.
Let the towers fall behind me,
Let the morning find me free.
I will do the work before me,
Leave the outcome, Lord, to Thee.
Outro — Quietly
Another sunrise.
Another chance.
One more prayer.
One more step.
Not my kingdom.
Not my glory.
Not my will.
Yours, Lord.
