Prompt / Lyrics
[Spoken Word] I thought unanswered prayers meant I was forgotten. Turns out… I was being built [Spoken Word] I asked for peace, I got chaos so I could learn to make my own. [Spoken Word] I prayed for love, I got heartbreak so I could learn to love myself first. [Spoken Word] I begged for purpose, I had to walk through the dark so I could find it. [Spoken Word] Maybe the struggle wasn’t the delay. Maybe it was the answer… just arriving backwards. [Intro - Instrumental] [Verse 1] I asked for peace, the noise came loud Storms in my chest, clouds in my mouth Every night felt like a war With thoughts I didn’t ask for I prayed for calm, the sky went black Had to learn how to fight my way back Didn’t know then what I know now Silence was the forge, not the fallout [Pre-Chorus] I thought the quiet meant He left Didn’t know He was teaching me breath [Chorus] Maybe prayers don’t come how we think Maybe faith is learning not to sink If I asked for strength, why would it be easy? If I asked for light, why would I see clearly? Every scar was shaping me Every fall was schooling me I didn’t lose — I was becoming This wasn’t the end It was the answer coming [Instrumental] [Verse 2] I asked for gold, my pockets bled Learned real value’s not what’s spent I prayed for wisdom, failed the test Over and over — learned the rest I asked for love, my heart got torn Guess you can’t give what you’ve never worn Had to learn my name inside Before I could stand for someone else’s side [Pre-Chorus 2] I thought the pain proved I was wrong Turns out it’s where I found my song [Chorus] Maybe prayers don’t come how we think Maybe faith is learning not to sink If I asked for strength, why would it be easy? If I asked for light, why would it be handed to me? Every scar was shaping me Every fall was schooling me I didn’t lose — I was becoming This wasn’t the end It was the answer coming [Instrumental] [Bridge] I walked through hell to learn the way So I could guide someone else someday I spoke to storms so I could stand Now I know peace is built by hand [Final Chorus] Maybe prayers don’t come how we think Maybe faith is learning not to sink If I asked for strength, why would it be easy? If I asked for light, why would it be handed to me? Every scar was shaping me Every fall was schooling me I didn’t lose — I was becoming This wasn’t the end It was the answer coming Prayers don’t come how we think Sometimes faith is standing knee-deep If I asked for purpose, this was it Learning how to rise, not just survive it Every scar was shaping me Every night was preparing me I didn’t break — I was becoming This wasn’t the end It was the answer It was the answer It was the answer coming [Instrumental] [Spoken Word] I asked for peace… and learned how to make it... If you’re hurting right now, you’re not behind. You’re not forgotten... You’re becoming.
