ANSWERED PRAYER
[Verse 1]
I thought an answered prayer
Would come with some kind of sign
A little light from heaven
A voice saying, “He’s the one this time”
I pictured something gentle
Something easy, something clear
Never knew my answered prayer
Would stand six-foot-two right here
A Cuban with a rough edge
Everybody sees the armor
They think you’re hard to read
But I know what’s underneath
My big damn teddy bear
Who somehow chose me
[Pre-Chorus]
You didn’t come to save me
You never tried to change me
You just took my hand
And stayed
[Chorus]
You love me when I’m laughing
You love me when I’m prickly
When I’m lost inside my own head
And I’m anything but easy
You took every piece of my life
Never asked me to leave one behind
My children, my scars
This complicated heart of mine
I spent so long asking heaven
For something I couldn’t name
Turns out God has a sense of humor
You weren’t what I pictured when I prayed
No wings, no halo
Just those arms waiting there
Six-foot-two and Cuban
My answered prayer
[Verse 2]
You’ve watched the hours disappear
While I’m chasing something new
Books and scripts and crazy dreams
And somehow there’s still you
You never needed me smaller
Never asked me to dim my light
You loved me as I found myself
And learned to live my life
[Pre-Chorus]
You didn’t fix what hurt me
You never claimed you could
You just kept showing up
Like love is supposed to
[Chorus]
You love me when I’m laughing
You love me when I’m prickly
When I’m strong enough to take the world
Or nothing comes that easy
You took every piece of my life
And somehow made room for it all
You never asked for an easier woman
You just loved the one you got
I spent so long asking heaven
For something I couldn’t name
Turns out God has a sense of humor
You weren’t what I pictured when I prayed
No wings, no halo
Just a love that’s always there
Six-foot-two and Cuban
My answered prayer
[Bridge]
I know how fast life changes
I know people don’t always stay
So I notice every ordinary moment
When you’re still there at the end of the day
Not in front of me
Not carrying me
Just beside me
And after everything
That means everything
[Final]
Let them call you gruff
Let them think you’re tough
I know the man they never see
The hands that hold me
The heart that knows me
The safest place for me
No wings, no halo
Just a love that’s always there
Six-foot-two and Cuban
My big damn teddy bear
My best friend
My answered prayer
