Leave It Up to You
Embracing Redemption: Letting Go and Leaving It Up to You
Lyrics
I've got so much on my mind
I have a lot of thoughts occupying my mind.
I have to get it off my chest
I need to express what's bothering me.
Have to open up my mouth and speak the truth
I must speak honestly and share the truth.
I let the little words out right
I express small things but avoid addressing the most significant issue.
But leave the biggest stone unturned
I avoid confronting a major problem or truth.
It's like I'm trying to keep the light from taking root
I seem to resist positive change or growth, like preventing light from entering.
But I'm never gonna' clean this slate
I acknowledge I won't easily erase my mistakes or regrets.
At the rate I'm going
I am struggling to make progress at my current pace.
Have to dig in to find the strength
I need to search within myself for the strength to persevere.
To follow through
I must follow through on my intentions.
I've shown forgiving myself is something I can't do
I find it hard to forgive myself, a recurring challenge.
So I'll leave it up, leave it up to you
I choose to entrust the situation to someone else, likely a higher power.
I'll leave it up to you
I surrender control and decision-making to an external force.
'Cause if it were up to me
If the decision were mine alone,
To pull myself out of this place
I might struggle to improve my situation.
A failure's what I'd be without your grace
I would likely face failure without the support of grace.
'Cause it's never gonna' wash me clean
Nothing else can cleanse me completely,
This muddy water
Referring to challenges or impurities as muddy water.
Your river is the only thing
A divine force or influence is necessary for transformation.
To make me new
The mentioned river is the only source for renewal.
I've shown forgiving myself is something I can't do
Reiterating the difficulty in self-forgiveness.
So I'll leave it up, leave it up to you
I choose to entrust the situation to someone else, likely a higher power (repeated).
I'll leave it up to you
I surrender control and decision-making to an external force (repeated).
The God of a million second chances
A reference to a deity or higher power offering numerous opportunities for redemption.
'Cause the chances are
Highlighting the abundance of opportunities for change.
That I'll return and take the wheel
The singer expresses a willingness to repeatedly seek guidance or divine intervention.
A million times or more
The singer acknowledges the likelihood of needing guidance countless times.
