When everything you love
And everything that's good slips away
When everyone you trust
And everyone that's close becomes afraid
When all the things you fear
And everything you hate becomes too real
When all your life is torn in two
Rest in truth
Chorus:
When the world is on your shoulders
Let Him in
When the world is on your shoulders
Let Him in
When the bitterness you hide
Slips into your blood and controls your life
When you've fought and fought and tried
But everything's a ruse
Rest in truth
Chorus:
When the world is on your shoulders
Let Him in
When your heart has been abandoned
Let Him in
When the World is on
When all hope has gone
When love that's been
Let Him in, Let Him in
My heart is free...

Behind the Song:“’Heart Is Free’ was a song that took a few years to write. “When the world is on your shoulders let him in” was the lyric that had been in my head for a while. When it was time to record the album, the rest of the song seemed to pour out of my heart. This song captures the passion and heart we wanted to close the record with.” - Jacob McGinnis (
