Cleanse My Soul

Verse 1

Morning hit me heavy, like a truth I couldn’t dodge.

Nothing in the house felt wrong, but nothing felt like home.

Roads beyond the driveway called me out to take control.

Stepping past the mailbox felt like it could cleanse my soul.

Verse 2

Fields along the highway gave me room to breathe again.

Sunlight on my shoulders felt like meeting an old friend.

Water from a stream cut through the heat I couldn’t hold.

Moments in that quiet started in to cleanse my soul.

Verse 3

Evening on the hillside made the whole day settle right.

Nothing loud or grand, just something easing in the night.

Stars above the treeline felt like truths I used to know.

Standing in that open dark was enough to cleanse my soul.

Chorus

Miles on an open road can help me cleanse my soul.

Wind through the broken fence can shake me back to whole.

Time with no demands can show the things I can’t control.

Every small adventure has a way to cleanse my soul.

Bridge

Distance doesn’t fix a life, but it can clear the view.

Stepping past the noise can show the things that still ring true.

Leaving for a while gave me a chance to feel my role,

and every mile behind me worked its way to cleanse my soul.

Final chorus

Miles on an open road can help me cleanse my soul.

Wind through the broken fence can shake me back to whole.

Time with no demands can show the things I can’t control.

Every small adventure has a way to cleanse my soul.

Bridge

Nothing I chased was a cure or some grand revelation.

All I needed was distance from the noise I kept obeying.

Stepping away from the life that felt too narrow to breathe

gave me room to remember what it means to cleanse my soul.

Final chorus

Miles on an empty road can help me cleanse my soul.

Wind through the open fields can loosen what I hold too tight.

Time with no demands can show the truth without a push.

Every small adventure has a way to cleanse my soul.
