[Verse 1]
A young man lost his father's guiding hand
Now floating free without a place to stand
She grew up with no foundation stone
Two broken hearts, both feeling so alone
[Chorus]
When freedom meets the need for ground
A dangerous fit can be found
He gives his future, she takes the pain
Reflection shows what both will gain and lose again
Look back and see, look back and learn
How love can heal but futures burn
[Verse 2]
He thought it was his calling, felt like love
The first thing that made sense since stars above
Stopped shining when his father passed away
She needed saving, he found his way
[Chorus]
When freedom meets the need for ground
A dangerous fit can be found
He gives his future, she takes the pain
Reflection shows what both will gain and lose again
Look back and see, look back and learn
How love can heal but futures burn
[Bridge]
It wasn't sacrifice to him back then
It was purpose, meaning, life again
But willingness to set himself aside
Became the thing that made his future hide
Not stolen, no, but freely given away
Neither knew the price they'd have to pay
[Verse 3]
Now looking back through time's revealing lens
We see how broken hearts can make amends
But healing others while you're incomplete
Can make your future face defeat
[Chorus]
When freedom meets the need for ground
A dangerous fit can be found
He gives his future, she takes the pain
Reflection shows what both will gain and lose again
Look back and see, look back and learn
How love can heal but futures burn
[Outro]
Reflect on love, reflect on loss
Count every gain and every cost
The future fades when present pain
Becomes the only thing that we can sustain
