Based on Genesis 13 - Parting Ways

[Verse 1]

We stood on the ridge, the land stretched wide

But the weight between us grew with the sky

Your herds, my kin, your men, their pride

The soil cracked beneath where peace had died

[Pre-Chorus]

I remembered the call, the voice that led

From Ur to this promise in a land we tread

But not all who walk must walk as one

Not all that grows needs the same sun

[Chorus]

I let go — not in anger, but in fir
e
Split the dust, broke the mire

Take the green, take the plain

I’ll take the silence, I’ll take the strain

We can’t both burn this field alive

[Verse 2]

Your eyes saw the Jordan — lush like Eden's throat

But I saw the smoke in Sodom's cloak

You chose with your eyes; I chose with my soul

The higher ground is often cold

[Pre-Chorus]

I remembered the call, the voice that led

From Ur to this promise in a land we tread

But not all who walk must walk as one

Not all that grows needs the same sun

[Chorus]

I let go — not in anger, but in fire

Split the dust, broke the mire

Take the green, take the plain

I’ll take the silence, I’ll take the strain

We can’t both burn this field alive

[Bridge]

I did not fight you

I did not curse you

The promise was never chained to land

But to faith that breaks like trembling hands

[Breakdown]

I gave you the choice —

Not because I was weak

But because peace is the war

Only the faithful can speak

[Final Chorus]
I let go — not in fear, but in fire

Left the plains, climbed higher

Take the easy path, take your gain

I’ll take the promise, I’ll take the pain

We can’t both burn this field alive

[Outro]

Lift my eyes to the north and south

To the dust that speaks from my mouth

This land, this vow, this ache I keep

I walk alone, but I do not weep
