Verse 1
I packed my box up yesterday, they said “We have to let you go”
I walked out to the parking lot with nowhere left to go
I thought I’d break, I thought I’d drown in everything I fear
But somehow in the middle of the shock… there’s something quiet here
I should be panicking about the bills and all the plans
About the story in my head of failing as a man
But underneath the noise that used to run my every move
There’s a still, small river in my chest that keeps on telling truth
Pre-Chorus
I don’t know what this is yet, but I know what it’s not
It’s not the end of my story, it’s a turning in the plot
Chorus
They let me go, but I didn’t lose my peace
Something in my soul keeps saying, “This is how you’re getting free”
I don’t know the reason, I don’t know the plan
But I feel a holy future holding out its hand
I don’t know what’s coming, but I know one thing for sure
Whatever’s on the other side of this… it will be good
Verse 2
Everyone keeps telling me the same words on repeat
“Maybe this is what you needed so your purpose could break free”
I’ve been praying for an answer, I’ve been asking for a sign
Never thought the door would close this hard on what was mine
Maybe life is rearranging what I never would have changed
Pulling me from what was safe into what already has my name
Maybe losing what I clung to is the only way I’ll see
That my value isn’t tied to any title, any seat
Pre-Chorus
I don’t have a map for this, just a whisper in my chest
Saying, “Trust the love that took this, it will give you what is best”
Chorus
They let me go, but I didn’t lose my peace
Something in my soul keeps saying, “This is how you’re getting free”
I don’t know the reason, I don’t know the plan
But I feel a holy future holding out its hand
I don’t know what’s coming, but I know one thing for sure
Whatever’s on the other side of this… it will be good
Bridge
What if this is not rejection, what if this is redirection
What if every closed door is just divine protection
What if all the weight I carried was never mine to hold
And this is how my life makes space for stories yet untold
Final Chorus
They let me go, but I didn’t lose my peace
I can feel a deeper part of me finally released
I don’t know the reason, I don’t know the plan
But I know I’m not alone and I am held inside a hand
I don’t know what the future holds, but I know this like I should:
I may not understand tonight… but it will be good.
