Hear me when I call

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
