[Verse 1 – faith + purpose]
End of those days, I found a light
Didn’t deserve it, still felt right
Heard my story in someone else
Started speakin’, found myself
Youth group rooms and fold-out chairs
Kids like me just sittin’ there
Told ‘em truth, no need to hide
For the first time, I felt alive
[Pre-Chorus]
Learnin’ slow, just takin’ steps
Didn’t know it all… not yet
[Chorus]
I found somethin’ I couldn’t fake
A second chance I didn’t make
Felt like grace was finally real
Like broken things could start to heal
[Verse 2 – church life]
Sunday mornings, Trinity
Tryna learn what faith could be
Didn’t fit but I stayed around
Feet still shaky on that ground
Brought some kids, yeah they came with me
Didn’t care who they used to be
Just wanted ‘em to hear the truth
Same hope that was pullin’ me through
[Pre-Chorus]
Didn’t see what was comin’ next
Didn’t know how faith gets tested
[Bridge – the confrontation]
Middle service, called my name
Said I was dealin’, threw the blame
Said those kids don’t belong in here
Said it loud so all could hear
[Break – I stand up]
I stood up… hands shakin’ tight
Said, “Judge not… you know that line”
Didn’t wait, didn’t stay around
Walked straight out, didn’t turn around
[Final Chorus – anger + confusion]
Said if this is what faith becomes
I don’t want what you’ve made it from
If this is love, then I’m done tryin’
Ain’t no truth in all that lyin’
I found somethin’… yeah, I did
But you twisted what it is
Walked away, slammed that door…
Said “forget this”… wanted more
[Outro – another relapse]
Moved in fast, started drinkin’ again
Same old noise, different sin
Didn’t lose it… just let it go
Somewhere deep, I still knew
