lyrics

A season theme of change.
I’m just coming of age
With God’s invitation to the next stage.
Just let it happen. Just let it happen.
There’s no need to be afraid.
I’m not running away.
What’s meant to be is written on the next page.
Just let it happen. Just let it happen.

I’m letting go. Just let it happen.
And I’m at peace. Just let it happen.
Listen… Just let it happen.

On the horizon is autumn. The end of summer is coming.
Look in her eyes and I see that we both are tired from running.
We’ve been repeating this trauma but this all wasn’t for nothing.
And like the season that’s coming each single fall was for something.
It’s been a journey to say the least. A mission to slay our beast.
Been charting the choppy seas and asking for God to please
Give the opportunity while praying was new to me.
But now it’s routine and I see His work getting through to me.
It’s been slowly but surely we put the pro into progress.
The pro in proceed and pro in process.
Put the pro in protect emotions through conflict.
Put the pro into propose and pro into promise.
Put the dream into dream team. Together we got this.
Why should I be afraid when I know nothing can stop us?
When I’m not at my best, I rest assured that our God is.
In light my faith, I’m not alone in this darkness.

I’m not alone in this darkness…

Anxiety goes round and cycles are pointless.
It quite literally won’t stop impairing my choices.
Somehow inside of me, I’ve been avoiding avoidance.
And in facing my fate I’m finally free from that poison.
That’s the funny thing about it, see, surrounding control
Is what has rendered reconciliation, bettering my soul.
And now, in doing so I’m stepping up outside my deepest holes.
Instead of reaching for escape I’m reaching all my steepest goals.
Give the credit, take the blame. Offer help. Feel the pain.
It’s okay. They can wait. When you’re wrong take the grace.
When you’re right, give the grace. Either way, it’s the same.
Everybody needs somebody who will love them though their pain. But
know that shame is a fake, it will lie to your face.
It will try to convince you that you are who you hate.
But you’re not who you are at your worst. Take a break.
Everybody should be loved not be judged by mistakes
That we make. It’s amazing how much gratitude can change you.
Just about as much as spreading shameless hate can taint you.
Blessid with the gift of God, it’s written in my name too.
That’s Matthew. And I’m becoming who I’m made to
Be. I wanna be the greatest father that I can be.
And be a hero. Live up to my middle name of Stanley.
And be the greatest teacher. Give my students something lasting.
And be the greatest husband. Give my wife a life that’s happy.
No matter what is coming, I’ll take it all in stride.
I pray this baby will be healthy with mama by their side.
I pray they grow to know what love is and place it over pride.
And they can say they always tried to live a purpose-driven life.
It’s been a rough couple years, I’d say it’s been the hardest
Chapter. But my story is just barely getting started.
The tunnel is ongoing. The light is still the target.
It’s temporary. I’m not alone in this darkness.

We’re not alone in this darkness.
