[Verse 1]
Holding on for dear life so long
I've been proud, I've been wrong
I've been nothing but headstrong
Building up my towers so tall
But I'm learning to trust you enough
To let 'em fall, yeah
'Cause I'm done holding on

[Chorus]
Now I, I'm letting go for dear life
Lay down the heavy for something light
I'm letting go for dear life
Now I see who I am in your eyes
Nothing to hold but hands high
I'm letting go for dear life, dear life

[Verse 2]
I'm not looking back with regret
'Cause your mercy's an offer
That's new every morning
And if You laid aside your glory, oh
Then why wouldn't I lay aside all my worry?

[Chorus]
I, I'm letting go for dear life
Lay down the heavy for something light
I'm letting go for dear life
Now I see who I am in your eyes
Nothing to hold but hands high
I'm letting go for dear life, dear life, hey
[Bridge]
And with these empty hands
I got nothing left to prove
And with these empty hands
I can only reach for you, yeah
When I lose my life, it's there I find
The one who gave his life for mine
When I lose my life, it's there I find
The one who gave his life for mine

[Chorus]
I, I'm letting go for dear life
Lay down the heavy for something light
I'm letting go for dear life
Now I see who I am in your eyes
Nothing to hold but hands high
I'm letting go for dear life, dear life
