[Intro – Piano + Soft Choir Hums] (Batiste plays slow, grateful chords.) September… the month my soul finally exhaled. After all the fear, after all the nights awake— God whispered: “He’s okay.” ⸻ [Verse 1] 🎶 I sat in that waiting room prayin’ in pieces, Mind runnin’ wild while the tension increases. Doctors walk in with that unread face, And I braced myself for another hard grace. Thought about July, thought about loss, Thought about every valley I had to cross. My son in the back with tubes and light, Small little body in a big man’s fight. My chest felt tight like the world pressed down, Heartbeat thumpin’ like a funeral sound. I said, “God, You took her… please don’t take him too.” And heaven replied, “Son, I’m not through.” 🎶 ⸻ [Hook – Choir + Wayne] 🎶 Benign… thank God, benign, A whisper of mercy across the line. September prayer, heart resigned, Then lifted up by grace divine. 🎶 ⸻ [Verse 2] 🎶 When they said the word, my knees near gave, Felt like resurrection from an early grave. Tears hit quick like a fallin’ rain, But this time joy sat inside the pain. Held his hand while he woke from sleep, Soft little breaths, angel-deep. I kissed his forehead, thanked the King, Felt love rush in like a gentle spring. I said, “Son, you’re a fighter, don’t ever forget,” God wrote your story before we met. Your mama watchin’ from a holy throne— You ain’t never gonna fight alone. 🎶 ⸻ [Bridge – Choir Echoes, Trumpet Soft] 🎶 Lord, I thank You for this breath, For this child spared from death. For the peace in sorrow’s wake, For the miracle You make. 🎶 (Wayne murmurs: “Yeah… mercy in the middle of madness.”) ⸻ [Hook – Full Choir + Strings] 🎶 Benign… thank God, benign, This prayer became a lifeline. September grace, redesigned— My broken heart by You refined. 🎶 ⸻ [Verse 3 – Spoken + Rap] I didn’t shout. I didn’t dance. I just dropped my head and whispered, “Thank You… thank You… thank You.” Sometimes relief hurts before it heals. 🎶 My faith ain’t fancy, My hope ain’t loud, But God heard me even lost in the crowd. Now I walk with gratitude stitched in my bones, A father rebuilt, no longer alone. 🎶 ⸻ [Final Hook – Choir + Piano Swell] 🎶 Benign… thank God, benign, My soul restored, my heart aligned. September prayer, forever mine— A miracle sealed in holy time. 🎶 ⸻ [Outro – Piano + Quiet Breath] September taught me… God still moves, even when the storm won’t. My son lived. My hope lived. And so did I.
