Permission To Believe Again

The road is still covered in rain
The sign ahead is hard to read
I've spent so long waiting for a reason
I almost forgot how to believe

I kept the door locked from the inside
Called the distance being careful
Every time I got close to trusting
I remembered how the last one hurt

So I learned to live with questions
Kept my hands around what I could hold
But something underneath the silence
Has been telling me to let it go

Not because I know what's waiting
Just because I'm ready to move

I still can't see beyond the corner
I still don't know where this will lead
But fear doesn't get to choose
What I believe

Give me permission to believe again
Before I know how this is gonna end
I don't need proof to take another step
My faith is stronger than my fear

The door may still be hidden
The road may disappear from view
But something in me says
Keep going anyway

Give me permission to believe again

Before the evidence
Before I understand
Believe again

I remember sitting in the silence
Wondering if I'd ever trust my heart
Watching every open door
Like it might close before I reached it

I thought certainty was courage
Thought I had to know before I tried
Now I see the strongest thing I've carried
Was the part of me that stayed alive

Maybe I don't need all the answers
Maybe I just need one step

I still can't see beyond the corner
I still don't know where this will lead
But fear doesn't get to choose
What I believe

Give me permission to believe again
Before I know how this is gonna end
I don't need proof to take another step
My faith is stronger than my fear

The door may still be hidden
The road may disappear from view
But something in me says
Keep going anyway

Give me permission to believe again

What if I believe
And nothing changes?

What if I step
And there's no way through?

What if tomorrow
Looks just like yesterday?

Then I will still choose
Not to let fear choose me

I give myself permission to believe again
I don't need to know how this is gonna end
I don't need proof to take another step
My faith is stronger than my fear

I give myself permission to believe again
Even if the answer isn't here yet
I can't see the whole road
But I'm already on my way

My faith is stronger
My faith is stronger
My faith is stronger than my fear

The road is still covered in rain
The sign ahead is hard to read

I don't need to see the whole way

I'm moving anyway

Believe again
