[Intro]
[low vocal register]
Yeah
I been quiet ’bout a lot
Lemme talk
[Verse 1]
Woke up with a smile that I stapled on
Sunday suit, but my faith feel paper-thin
Bible on the dresser, dust on the spine
Scrollin’ through my phone just to numb my mind
Mama say, “You blessed,” I just nod and laugh
’Cause she never seen the blade or the broken glass
Tears in the sink where the mirror cracked
Whole lotta hurt that I never unpacked
[Chorus]
At the end of the tunnel, I see You
Through the dark, through the scars I cling to
All the nights I was lost, You came through
I was done, I was finished
You said, “Child, I’m not finished with you”
[Verse 2]
Friends in the pews, they don’t see that ache
Smile for the pic, then I break on the way back
Heart yelling loud, but my mouth stay shut
’Cause church folks clap, but they judge too much
Panic in my chest like a kick drum pounding
Voices in my head, so loud, surrounding
Whisper in the chaos, softer than my shame
“You ain’t your wounds, you’re the one I came for by name”
I fell to the floor on my bedroom rug
Mascara, sweat, all mixing with the dust
“I’m tired of pretending, God, I’m done with the mask”
Then Your love hit deep where the pain was packed
[Chorus]
At the end of the tunnel, I see You
Through the dark, through the scars I cling to
All the nights I was lost, You came through
I was done, I was finished
You said, “Child, I’m not finished with you”
[Bridge]
[whispered vocals]
You were there in the cuts I hid
In the texts unsent, in the things I did
In the nights I swore I’d disappear
You were still right here, still right here
[rap intensifies]
From the hospital room to the back row seat
From the locked bathroom to the busy street
You were tracing a line through my shattered plans
Turning every “why me?” to “I’m in Your hands”
[Chorus]
At the end of the tunnel, I see You
Through the dark, through the scars I cling to
All the nights I was lost, You came through
I was done, I was finished
You said, “Child, I’m not finished with you”
