What Owns Me

I ran to catch the moment
Didn't want to miss the window
Had the answers in my pocket
Like a future I could follow
I checked off every boundary
Memorized the lines they drew
Built a life that looked like gold
But I was missing something true

Something asking quietly
What owns me?

What owns me?
What am I still holding tight?
What am I protecting
In the middle of the night?
What owns me?
What am I afraid to lose?
If the road is calling forward
Why am I still choosing
What owns me?

I was standing in the daylight
All my trophies in a row
Waiting for the next direction
Just a place for me to go
But the silence started shifting
And the air began to freeze
Like the question wasn't forward
It was looking back at me

Chorus

I thought that I was ready
I thought I had the heart
To follow where You're going
Even in the dark
But the weight I’ve been carrying
Didn’t feel like a load
Till it was everything I had
Versus the open road
Everything I built my name on
Everything I knew
It’s all standing in the way...
Of You.

What owns me?
What am I still holding tight?
What am I protecting
In the middle of the night?
What owns me?
What am I afraid to lose?

I’m still standing in the distance
With my hands full of my gold
Watching where the road is moving
To a story left untold
He just kept walking past the gate
I couldn't follow through
Still asking
What owns me?
