Closing My Hand

Verse 1

Smallest stone

Thrown into the creek

Makes a ripple then it settles way down deep

Checking fences

Waiting for the sky to break

Pre-Chorus

I don't need to own the morning

I don't need to stop the rain

I don't need to name the future

To know I'm alive again

Chorus

Let it run

Let it burn

Let it fall away

I can't make the night surrender to the day

What I clutch turns to ashes

What I free can remain

I was trying to hold heaven

And drowning in rain

Verse 2

Knuckles white

Pulling at the thread

Tangled up inside the static in my head

Open palms

Better for the life I lead

Pre-Chorus

I don't need to own the morning

I don't need to stop the rain

I don't need to name the future

To know I'm alive again

Chorus

Let it run

Let it burn

Let it fall away

I can't make the night surrender to the day

What I clutch turns to ashes

What I free can remain

I was trying to hold heaven

And drowning in rain

Bridge

Let the river take the things I thought I knew

Let the fire light the shadows I was stumbling through

If the only way to keep it is to never let it go

I'll open up my hands

Let the wild water flow

Flow on through

Flow on through

Chorus

Let it run

Let it burn

Let it fall away

I can't make the night surrender to the day

What I clutch turns to ashes

What I free can remain

I was trying to hold heaven

And drowning in rain

Final Chorus

Can't hold the river

But I can stand in the rain

Can't keep the flame

But I can feel its warmth again

The world slips away

I finally understand

There was never any treasure

In the closing of my hand

In the closing of my hand

Closing of my hand
