Poem
songer.co/song/yuhgqpfntdca04jlfkgt30x7 [Verse 1] Streetlight buzz like static on the soul It’s 2 a.m. and I still ain’t whole Another night, just me and this notebook And a God I’m not sure I understand But grace... She’s the only thing that stays When the rest walks out So I keep scribblin’ these half-bent verses 'Cause maybe somebody else needs a way out [Hook] I got one more song, maybe the last I can give For the girl who said yes just to feel like she could live For the boy with his clothes in a trash bag on the lawn For the man behind bars with no one writing home If You're still here in this mess, still pulling people through Then maybe this cracked-up melody's for You [Verse 2] I've seen prayer chains rust from silence And worship songs drown in shame Seen pastors sell hope like product While real folks forget their name But I’ve also seen You in the small things— A smoke break. A stranger's glance. A sunrise so undeserved It felt like a second chance [Bridge] I ain’t got clean hands And some days, I don’t even want ‘em But You... You show up in motel rooms and waiting rooms In detox beds and neighbor bars You never needed a steeple Just someone still breathing [Final Verse] So here’s one more song, rough as a gravel road A cracked voice, a busted chord But it’s honest. It's real. And it’s more than I had last year If it helps one soul sit up Or even just know they’re seen, loved Then maybe that’s what mercy means [Outro] So yeah… As long as there’s one more breath in this tired frame There’ll be one more song— Not perfect. But yours all the same.
