Prompt / Lyrics
[Musikstil Hozier] --- [Verse 1] I carried sins that weren’t my own, Held the weight like carved-in stone. Every step a quiet plea, Every breath a dying tree. I chased the dawn through blackened skies, Lost my truth in borrowed lies. But in the dirt beneath my feet, I found a heart still meant to beat. --- [Pre-Chorus] If mercy lives in broken ground, Then I was lost but finally found. --- [Chorus] It was the fall that saved me, Not the light that tried to raise me. When I shattered, I could see Every truth that hid in me. It was the fall that saved me — Brought me down to set me free. --- [Verse 2] I prayed in rooms that held no god, Walked the path no saint had trod. Every hope a fading spark, Every promise turning dark. But when I fell, the earth was kind, Held my body, cleared my mind. And in the silence, soft and deep, I found a soul I meant to keep. --- [Pre-Chorus] If mercy lives in broken ground, Then I was lost but finally found. --- [Chorus] It was the fall that saved me, Not the light that tried to raise me. When I shattered, I could see Every truth that hid in me. It was the fall that saved me — Brought me down to set me free. --- [Bridge – leise, wie ein Gebet] Let the darkness hold me tight, ‘Til I learn to birth my light. I was blind, but now I see — Grace lives in the gravity. --- [Final Chorus – episch, mit Gospel-Unterton] It was the fall that saved me, Not the light that tried to raise me. Through the ashes, through the plea — I found the part that’s truly me. It was the fall that saved me — Brought me down… to set me free.
