[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.
