open hands Lyrics

I am falling faster than I think I should

Passing scenes and signs I haven't understood

But if life's more than a sum of all my plans

I am holding what I have with open hands

Now I know what's meant will be

And I know it's not all up to me

All my life I've tried to run

Thinking God would mark my path

With plaques hung on the wall

I blazed my trail, wound up alone

I guess what I want is often not what I really need

I am falling faster than I think I should

Passing scenes and signs I haven't understood

But if life's more than a sum of all my plans

I am holding what I have with open hands

Now I know what's meant will be

And I know it's not all up to me

Life has knocked me down a notch

I don't know what's next

Don't know what's best

God has knocked me down a notch

Till I'm forced to trust

Life has knocked me down a notch

I don't know what's next

So, open hands

'Cause God has knocked me down a notch

So I'm trying to trust
