Verse 1
Sat out on that back porch, sun was sinkin’ low
Two white wings on my railing like they didn’t plan to go
Never seen ‘em ‘round here, now they don’t fly away
Kinda like these memories I been livin’ with each day
I had a badge and a future, had a name I wore with pride
Now I’m countin’ all my failures with nowhere left to hide
If I could take it back, man you know I’d change it all
Now I’m just standin’ in the silence, waitin’ on a call
⸻
Chorus
So hear me when I’m callin’, yeah I’m down here on my knees
Hands up to the heavens, beggin’ for a little peace
I ain’t who I was, but I ain’t who I’ll be
Just a broken man tryin’ to find what’s left of me
If you’re listenin’ above, I could really use a sign
‘Cause I’m losin’ my direction, runnin’ outta time
Yeah I’m reachin’ through the dark, hopin’ you still see
Ain’t too far gone… to come back to me
⸻
Verse 2
She was seven years of steady, she was everything I had
Now she’s someone else’s future, and that cuts me pretty bad
I was blind to what was real, now I see it crystal clear
Funny how the truth shows up when there’s nothin’ left but tears
And I swear I felt you there, when my family said goodbye
Like you were standin’ in the doorway, just watchin’ from the side
I started talkin’ like you’d answer, like you never really left
Guess love don’t disappear… it just lives inside your chest
⸻
Chorus
So hear me when I’m callin’, yeah I’m down here on my knees
Hands up to the heavens, beggin’ for a little peace
I ain’t who I was, but I ain’t who I’ll be
Just a broken man tryin’ to find what’s left of me
If you’re listenin’ above, I could really use a sign
‘Cause I’m losin’ my direction, runnin’ outta time
Yeah I’m reachin’ through the dark, hopin’ you still see
Ain’t too far gone… to come back to me
⸻
Bridge (Psalms 28:2 moment)
Hear the voice of my cry when I’m callin’ out Your name
When I lift my hands up, I ain’t lookin’ for the same
To the holy place, where the broken go to heal
God, I need You now more than I’ve ever felt was real
(this is where you’re echoing Psalms 28:2 in your own words instead of quoting it stiffly—keeps it musical and authentic)
⸻
Final Chorus (stripped, emotional)
So hear me when I’m callin’… I ain’t got nothin’ left
But a heart full of regret and a mind I can’t reset
If there’s mercy in the distance, if there’s grace I couldn’t see
Maybe this rock bottom… ain’t the end of me
⸻
Outro
Two doves still sittin’ on that rail tonight
And for the first time in a while… I don’t mind
