[Verse 1 – Slow and broken delivery]
When I cry, God, do You hear me?
Or am I just talkin' to the ceiling, clearly?
Eyes wide open, but my faith’s gone blind
Been beggin’ for a sign, but You stay silent every time
I’m on my knees, voice crackin’ in pain
Tears hittin’ carpet like November rain
I ain't askin' for a miracle or fame
Just some peace before I break again
People say, “He’s with you,” like that’s enough
But they don’t hear the war when it’s gettin’ rough
They don’t feel the nights when the dark won’t end
They don’t wrestle demons that pretend to be friends
I ain’t perfect, nah — not even close
But I’m still showin’ up, hangin’ by hope
If You’re there, then why this silence?
I’m tired of the quiet, tired of the violence
[Hook – Melodic and pleading, NF-style chorus]
When I cry, God, do You hear me?
When I scream at the sky, do You fear me?
When I’m beggin’ on my knees, sayin' “Please,”
God — do You see what’s happenin’ to me?
I’m not tryna blame, I’m just breakin’ inside
Lookin’ for a light in the darkest night
When I cry, God, do You hear me?
Or am I just alone… really?
[Verse 2 – More intense, battle escalates]
Look…
I got wounds that I never stitched
Prayers that I sent but never hit
Feelin' like faith is a broken switch
And my past is a knife that always twists
I thought You were love — thought You were near
But all I feel is guilt and fear
I’m tryna fight, but I’m losin' will
Trapped in a mind that won’t stay still
I’ve seen church folks fake the light
Say a verse, but they don’t fight my fight
They talk peace, but they don’t bleed
They walk past when I’m in need
And I know You ain’t them, I get that
But it’s hard to believe when I feel flat
If You’re real, then break the chains
Show up in more than just the rain
[Hook – Repeat with more passion and emotional weight]
When I cry, God, do You hear me?
When I scream at the sky, do You fear me?
When I’m beggin’ on my knees, sayin' “Please,”
God — do You see what’s happenin’ to me?
I’m not tryna blame, I’m just breakin’ inside
Lookin’ for a light in the darkest night
When I cry, God, do You hear me?
Or am I just alone… really?
[Bridge – Spoken over ambient drop]
I’m not askin' for easy
I’m askin’ for real
If You’re with me…
Then let me feel
[Final Hook – Softer, stripped-down]
When I cry, God, do You hear me?
When I fall to the floor, do You come near me?
I’m beggin’, I’m broken — tell me it’s not in vain
Tell me You see my pain…
Tell me You see…
