I Can't Escape

Protection


This song is about trust. The daily choice to release control and lean into something (or someone) greater. It speaks of the tension between fear and surrender, and how peace begins not when everything is clear, but when we stop holding so tightly.

Lyrics:

(Intro)
I’ve been holding on too tight
Trying to fix what’s not mine

(Verse 1)
I draw the lines, I plan the way
But still I’m drifting every day
Maps fade, the road bends
I break before I bend

(Chorus)
Let go… lean in
Even when I don’t know where I’m going
Let go… lean in
Trust begins when fear grows thin
(breathe it in…)

(Verse 2)
I thought control would make me free
But freedom came when I released me (again…)
Not my strength, not my plan
But open hands… again (again)

(Chorus)
Let go… lean in
Even when I don’t know where I’m going
Let go… lean in
Peace begins (peace begins)
where doubts had been
(doubts have been…)

(Bridge)
Falling’s not failing
Surrender’s not weak
It’s the courage…
to trust what I can’t see

(Chorus – Variation)
Let go… lean in
Let the current pull me in
Let go… lean in
You were there, deep within
