Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I tried to be the glue that keeps it all together
Trying to hold on to what's being pulled apart
Tried to make peace and be the reason things get better
Only to end up with a trail of broken hearts
Tried my best to heal the hurt
It seems I only made it worse
God, if You're still listening, I need You
Only You can move the mountains
Only You can part the sea
Only You can break the cycles
And the roots that run so deep
Only You can change the ending
And rewrite my history
So surely You can restore
My family
All of the damage that's been done for generations
Just one word from You can break those chains
And all of the moments and the years we thought were wasted
There's not a single story You cannot change
Only You can move the mountains
Only You can part the sea
Only You can break the cycles
And the roots that run so deep
Only You can change the ending
And rewrite my history
So surely You can restore
My family
The things that I don't understand
I place my whole world in Your hands
I tried to hold it all, but I can't
Only You can move the mountains
Only You can part the sea
Only You can break the cycles
And the roots that run so deep
Only You can change the ending
And rewrite my history
So surely You can restore
So surely You can restore
My family
