ONE MORE SONG
[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.
