Still Reaching

I'll never stop resisting, never stop fighting, I'll reach Forever. Verse 1 I sank beneath the weight of everything I swore that I would never be. Every failure pulled me deeper, Every shadow looked like me. I tried to wash away the darkness, But the water only climbed. And every time I reached the surface, I carried something back inside. Chorus 1 So I'm still reaching for the light, Even when I cannot see it. Still holding on through every night, Even when I barely feel it. Let the darkness fill the horizon, Let it rise on every side. It can surround me. It cannot decide me. I'm still reaching for the light. Verse 2 I thought that knowing good from evil Meant the battle would grow small. But revelation showed me something— There was never peace at all. There's a war behind the silence, There's a choice in every breath. And the things I thought were harmless Were slowly pulling me to depth. Chorus 2 So I'm still reaching for the light, Now I know what waits below me. I can feel the current pulling, But it doesn't get to own me. Let temptation speak in whispers. Let the whole world call it right. I know the darkness. I know its name now. And I'm still reaching for the light. Verse 3 I will stumble. I will weaken. There are days I'll lose my way. There are stains I cannot hide from. There are debts I cannot erase. But falling isn't choosing darkness. Being wounded isn't defeat. Every time I turn toward heaven, Something dead returns to me. Chorus 3 And I'm still reaching for the light, With these scars upon my hands. I don't need to be unbroken Just to know where I should stand. Let the world grow cold around me. Let the stars disappear from sight. I will remember. I will resist it. I will keep reaching for the light. Verse 4 Maybe darkness has its season. Maybe evil gets its hour. Maybe everything around me Will bow down before its power. But an hour is not forever. And the night cannot remain. There will come a day beyond this When I never fall again. Chorus 4 So I'm still reaching for the light, Until the final night is over. Until everything that separated Falls away and pulls me closer. Until faith becomes a doorway. Until hope becomes my sight. I'll keep resisting. I'll keep believing. I'll keep reaching for the light. Verse 5 And if that day should find me tired, With nothing left except my soul, I will give the last breath in me To the One I've waited for. No more drowning. No more shadows. No more distance left to cross. Every darkness left behind me. Every broken thing is lost. Chorus 5 I won't be reaching for the light. I'll finally stand within it. Every night I ever carried Will disappear inside it. And the hands that kept on reaching Through every failure, every fight— Will finally rest. Will finally know. I never lost the light.
