Lyrics and translation

Original

"I didn't say it'd be easy, but it'd be worth it"
Picture of Jesus momma hung up on the wall
Back then, I didn't think I deserved it
The kind of love that covers it all
Then through the years, I just got tangled
Took the roads a lonely man is gonna take
Tried to inflate myself into something
While everything around me shrank
Into the great wide open
I surrender it all
Every word unspoken
Is coming out through cracks in the wall
From all the weight I carried
Everything for so long
Into the great wide open
I surrender, and I fall
Time and time again, I prayed for answers
Asking what it takes to make me enough
It's like I had held my soul for ransom
Fell on my knees and gave it up
Into the great wide open
I surrender it all
Every word unspoken
Is coming out through cracks in the wall
From all the weight I carried
Everything for so long
Into the great wide open
I surrender, and I fall
And I fall
God, I've waited to turn it around
I was dreaming I'd come up from the ground
Into the great wide open
Into the great wide open
Into the great wide open
I surrender, and I fall
