Not Anymore

We dance through ashes
We sing through tears
We paint though our trials
We act though our fears

The times when we don't know
Which way is up
And we don't know if we have
Enough to fill this cup.

We continue walking
When we'd rather
Be on our knees.
We continue smiling
When we'd rather
Find a place to weep

The times we say yes
When our heart screams
We can't.
The times we give in
Just one more time
Just
One
More
Time.

We hold our breath
Until our lungs bleed
Until our heart shatters
This wasn't
How hope was meant to be.

I'm a dreamer
That has forgotten how to dream.
I'm a fighter
That let my fears paralyze me.

Jesus, take this cup from me.

Take these pieces
Scattered on the floor
I can't put them back together.
Not on my own
...Not anymore.

So let me dance through these ashes
And give me a voice through the tears
Paint a colorful story through these trials
And help me be me
And fight through these fears.

Father, take this weight from me
That chains me to the floor.
Set me free from this prison.
Give me grace to fly.
I'm not doing this alone.
...Not anymore.
