[VERSE 1]
I sat with the same fear I’d known
With my hands clenched tight
You read the numbers slow
And then the room caught light
Everything went still
Then the silence gave way
To something in your voice
I had hoped to hear someday

[PRE-CHORUS]
The break has finally come
Still a long road you said
But the grip of that old fear
Has now begun to shed

[CHORUS]
The tide has turned
I can feel it in my soul
Like the dark is breaking open
I’m getting back to being whole

I’m not out of the woods
I’m still in the storm
But hope has found my heartbeat
And it’s steady, and oh so warm

[VERSE 2]
I know what caution means
I know what doubt can do
How one small change can still
be too fragile to hold to

So I can’t say it’s done
It’s not cancer’s end
I’ll just call it the first good breath
My body gave again

[PRE-CHORUS]
All that fear is giving way
In all these hard-fought hours
Because now survival’s here
And its full of faith and power

[CHORUS]
The tide has turned
I can feel it in my soul
Like the dark is breaking open
I’m getting back to being whole

I’m not out of the woods
I’m still in the storm
But hope has found my heartbeat
And it’s light is oh so warm

[BRIDGE]
If tomorrow brings more questions
I will meet them one by one
But tonight I hold this mercy
Like a wish we now have won

We’ve fought through so much darkness
We’ve been battered, bruised, and worn
And now there’s light ahead of us
Our hope’s no longer torn

[FINAL CHORUS]
The tide has turned
I can feel my spirit rise
Like a door that’s slowly opened
To a future in my eyes

I’m not out of the woods
But I’m no longer alone
Hope is here beside me
And it’s leading me home

The tide has finally turned
And my life is now my own
I see future there for me
and its the life I once had known…
