[Intro]
Heavy was the night, Lord, heavy was my mind,
I was runnin’ from my shadow, leavin’ all my faith behind.
Then I fell down to my knees and said, “I’m tired of bein’ blind…”
[Verse 1]
I woke up in the darkness, with the sun outside my door,
Yeah, I woke up in the darkness, with the sun outside my door.
Had a pocket full of nothin’, and a heart that needed more.
[Verse 2]
Bills on the table, red letters in the mail,
Mm, bills on the table, red letters in the mail.
Feels like every step I’m takin’ just slides me back to hell.
[Refrain]
Heavy was the night, Lord, heavy was my mind,
I was drownin’ in my sorrow, leavin’ all my hope behind.
Then I whispered out, “God, if You hear me, throw a sign…”
[Verse 3]
Bottle on the counter, demons dancin’ in my head,
Yeah, a bottle on the counter, demons dancin’ in my head.
I was smilin’ for the people, but inside I wished I’s dead.
[Verse 4]
I tried chasin’ after pussy, tried to fuck to have some peace,
Yeah, I chased after the pussy, thought the pain would maybe cease.
Built a mountain made of trophies, but my soul had no release.
[Refrain]
Heavy was the night, Lord, heavy was my mind,
I was runnin’ from my shadow, leavin’ all my faith behind.
Then I fell down to my knees and said, “I’m tired of bein’ blind…”
[Verse 5]
Somewhere in that silence, when the tears began to fall,
Mm, somewhere in that silence, when I finally dropped it all,
I felt a hand inside the darkness, and I heard a quiet call.
[Verse 6]
Now the work ain’t gettin’ easy, but my back is standin’ tall,
No, the work ain’t gettin’ easy, but my back is standin’ tall.
Got some scars from all my battles, but I ain’t afraid to fall.
[Bridge]
They say success is just the money, but they don’t know what it cost,
All the nights of fightin’ voices, all the days I thought I’s lost.
If you see me in the sunshine, know I walked there through the frost.
[Final Refrain]
Heavy was the night, Lord, but You brought me to the day,
Gave me strength inside the struggle, when I had no words to pray.
Now my pain turned into praise for every step along the way.
[Outro / Tag]
I was broken, I was empty, I was dyin’ in that fight,
But You reached into my darkness, and You gave my soul Your light.
Now I sing these blues of struggle with a faith that holds me tight,
You’ve got Yourself a warrior now, a man who truly loves his wife.
You made Your Son my Savior, so I don’t fear the fight,
I’m a man who’s known the struggle, now I’m walkin’ in Your light.
[Final Tag – Power Verse]
Heavy was the night, Lord, but You brought me to the day,
Gave me strength inside the struggle when I had no words to pray.
Turned my pain into a power, now I’m learnin’ from my aches,
Failure ain’t no option, only success through small mistakes.
