Takin it back

**(Verse 1)** Cold steel echoing against the floor The sound of the world locking up that door Four white walls and a ceiling low Nowhere left for a soul to go. They wrote my name in a dusty book Counting up everything the devil took: Took my peace, took my name, Tried to cover my future in a cloak of shame. But the walls are thin and the truth is loud There’s a silver lining in this midnight cloud. **(Chorus)** I heard the slam, I felt the sting But I’m still a child of the Highest King. You can lock the gate, and you can bolt the bar butyou can’t dim the light of a morning star. Everything the devil stole, every dream, every track In the name of the Lord, I’m taking it back. Yeah, I’m taking it back. **(Verse 2)** My body was aching, my mind was a fog Living my life like a tail-end dog. Bones were weary and the blood was thin Struggling with the weight of where I’ve been. They said "Two Fs," they said "You’re done," But they didn’t know I’d only just begun. I’m trading this iron for a golden set I haven't even seen my best days yet. From the hospital bed to the kitchen floor I’m walking through a brand new door. **(Bridge)** Take back my health. (I’m taking it back) Take back my wealth. (I’m taking it back) Take back my joy and my sanity Take back the vision of who I’m meant to be. The devil thought he had me in a permanent hold But I’m coming out of the furnace like refined gold. **(Outro)** The door is opening. The fog is lifting. The plates are ready. The vision is shifting. I’m taking it back. All of it. Watch me.
