(Verse 1)
God, soften the hearts that wanna hurt me,
Calm my mind when it starts to burn me,
Teach me to forgive, to pray for those
Who smile when they see my lows.
They wanna see me break, they wanna see me fall,
But I’m still standing, I’m giving You it all.
(Bridge)
They try to steal my peace inside,
But I won’t let the darkness drive,
I’m learning to let go, learning to be kind
To the pieces of me that they left behind.
(Chorus)
I just wanna smile again,
Hear me, God — I need a friend.
Not a deal or a word that’s cheap,
But a heart that’s real, a soul that’s deep.
Stop the wheels that spin in my mind,
Tell me they’re lies — leave them behind.
You chose me before I began,
And I choose You — take my hand.
(Verse 2)
They’re robbing my thoughts, not my things,
My sanity caught on invisible strings.
I’m tired of asking “why,”
I just need a little sign from the sky.
Remind me who I’m meant to be,
A child of love, finally free.
(Bridge)
When I feel like I’m breaking down,
Lift me up, don’t let me drown.
In the silence, call my name,
And I’ll rise up through the pain.
(Chorus)
I just wanna smile again,
Hear me, God — I need a friend.
Not a deal or a word that’s cheap,
But a heart that’s real, a soul that’s deep.
Stop the wheels that spin in my mind,
Tell me they’re lies — leave them behind.
You chose me before I began,
And I choose You — take my hand.
(Bridge)
I’ve been walking through the fire,
Carrying my shame and my desire.
But You whisper in the smoke and flame,
“My child, you are loved, you’re not to blame.”
(Final Chorus)
Now I can smile again,
I found my peace, I found my friend.
Not a deal or a word that’s cheap,
But a love that’s real, a soul that’s deep.
You quieted the storm in my mind,
Brought me home — I’m finally fine.
You chose me before I began,
And I choose You — again and again.
