lyrics

Sever the roots that bind you
Sever the roots that hold you back

I am not your guilty puppet
I am not your beaten slave
I will not stand for injustice
I will not play this game

You think you've got me in the center of your hand
But I'm not your patty cake, patty cake, bakers man
I'm moving forward and im not looking back
The past is the past and my bags are unpacked

I'm leaving everything behind (Leaving everything)
Forgiveness and mercy are now mine (are now mine)
I'm leaving everything behind
Forgiveness is now mine
Mercy is now mine

I craved an answer to the prolonging question
And when i found it, it opened up my eyes
Why do we run from the things of the past?
We need to leave it behind us
Leave it behind

Chorus

I am leaving everything
I'm leaving everything
I'm leaving what you've said about me
Forgiveness and mercy are not far from me and I'm not letting go easily
I'm not letting go
I'm not letting go
