"So you thought you had to keep this up
All the work that you do
So we think that you're good
And you can't believe it's not enough
All the walls you built up
Are just glass on the outside

So let 'em fall down
There's freedom waiting in the sound
When you let your walls fall to the ground
We're here now

This is where the healing begins, oh
This is where the healing starts
When you come to where you're broken within
The light meets the dark
The light meets the dark

Afraid to let your secrets out
Everything that you hide
Can come crashing through the door now
But too scared to face all your fear
So you hide but you find
That the shame won't disappear

So let it fall down
There's freedom waiting in the sound
When you let your walls fall to the ground
We're here now
We're here now, oh

This is where the healing begins, oh
This is where the healing starts
When you come to where you're broken within
The light meets the dark
The light meets the dark

Sparks will fly as grace collides
With the dark inside of us
So please don't fight
This coming light
Let this blood come cover us
His blood can cover us

This is where the healing begins, oh
This is where the healing starts
When you come to where you're broken within
The light meets the dark
The light meets the dark"

This song has really described me. I love that about it. Not only because it describes how I feel about myself, but also that it reminds me that I can let it all go. That you can let your walls fall down. I've found the person I can do that with. I've always been really an open person, always willing to talk about my past and how I feel. But I have always kept a few secrets. Secrets that I was afraid that if I told them to someone they wouldn't like/love me anymore. But what I didn't realize was that I couldn't move past those regrets that I had until I let them out. When I finally confessed these things to that one person, they never wavered, they were a rock. I felt like I was falling to pieces and instead of being mad, or disgusted, or rude, or judgmental, they wrapped their arms around me and wiped my tears off my cheeks. They never thought of just walking away, they sat and reassured me that it was going to be ok. I feel like this person is so much stronger and wonderful than I am. I don't deserve so much grace and love. And yet, they picked me to give it to. I'm so deeply blessed. This song reminds me of that, it makes me cry. It reminds me that I still need to work on myself and become a better person, but that I need help. And that it's going to be ok :)
