Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Boots on a cracked red road
Dust on my tongue
Heart heavy as stone
I was runnin' from the morning
Eyes full of fear
Pockets full of smoke
Then a whisper cut through my thunder
"Son
You ain't meant to walk alone"

[Pre-Chorus]
Everything paused when You called my name (called my name)
Shadows froze
Had to face my shame (face my shame)
You reached right into that ruin I kept hid
Tore up my chains
Yeah
You broke what I did

[Chorus]
Now I'm walkin' free
Walkin' free with You
Step by step
You lead me through
Out of that grave
Out of that night
Into Your love
Into Your light
I'm walkin' free
Walkin' free at last
Past is gone
Can't drag me back
Every breath
Every beat in me
Says I'm walkin' free
I'm walkin' free

[Verse 2]
Voices in the back of my brain
Say I'm still that lost kid
Stuck in the pain
But You stand in the doorway
Nail-scarred hands
Fire in Your gaze
Turn my worry into worship
Turn my mourning into praise

[Pre-Chorus]
When I stumble
You don't walk away (walk away)
You just steady all this wild heart sway (wild heart sway)
You light a lantern in the places I won't show
And the darker it gets
The brighter You glow

[Chorus]
So I'm walkin' free
Walkin' free with You
Step by step
You lead me through
Out of that grave
Out of that night
Into Your love
Into Your light
I'm walkin' free
Walkin' free at last
Past is gone
Can't drag me back
Every breath
Every beat in me
Says I'm walkin' free
I'm walkin' free (hey!)

[Bridge]
[Band drops to kick
Claps
Distant organ swells]
No more runnin'
No more hidin'
You cut the cords
Now I'm risin'
Chains on the floor
Fear in the fire
You walk beside me
I'm walkin' higher (yeah)

[Instrumental]
[Epic blues-rock guitar solo over rising vamp
Organ swirling
Drums pushing harder]

[Chorus]
Now I'm walkin' free
Walkin' free with You
Step by step
You lead me through
Out of that grave
Out of that night
Into Your love
Into Your light
I'm walkin' free
Walkin' free at last
Past is gone
Can't drag me back
Every breath
Every beat in me
Sings I'm walkin' free
I'm walkin' free

[Outro]
[Half-time groove
Big backing vocals]
Walkin' free
Walkin' free
You took my darkness
Gave me a song to sing
Walkin' free
Walkin' free (oh yeah)
Every mile
Every road I'm on
I'm walkin' with my King
