The Weight of Waiting Lyrics

Can you hear my call, I'm begging for mercy

Let me explain everything

Feeling like if I open up now

The essence of me will become polluted

All I can do is avoid anything that gets inside

Until I can dilute it

And it may not look like a spectacular fight

But I'm giving it all I've got

Been waiting for the time to start making the climb

Cause I'm hiding it all inside

I'm gonna spread my arms out wide

If I can make it up through muddy water

There's no way I'm coming out clean

Risen up above that murky horizon

I can reveal all of me

All I ask is that you hold some patience

Find it in your heart to see me fully open

Take time to wait for full arrival

When I've reached the end, I can show you who I am

And when you see the real me, I hope you can see beyond

And see the doubts that I've overcome

I can honestly say I was never born this way

I had to fight for what I've become

Standing full in the summer sun

If I can make it up through muddy water

There's no way I'm coming out clean

Risen up above that murky horizon

I can reveal all of me

I'm sorry if I seem standoffish

I'm sorry if I looked away

I'm sorry if I made you feel I hated you in any way

Harboring what's inside of me, and I'm scared to set it free

I had to wait until I was safe before I could just be me

So I can make it up through muddy water

There's no way I'm coming out clean

Risen up above that murky horizon

I can reveal all of me

Can you hear my call, I'm begging for mercy

Let me explain everything
