HE KEPT ME HERE
[VERSE 1]
I learned real young how to hide my pain,
Smile through the hurt, walk through the rain.
Everybody asks, “Man, you doing alright?”
I say, “Yeah, I’m good,” then I lose it at night.
I got scars on my skin, got scars underneath,
A war in my head that nobody sees.
I’ve fought my own demons, I know them by name,
They told me to quit, but I stayed in the game.
I’ve been down so low I could barely stand,
Had my whole life slipping right through my hands.
But what didn’t kill me built something strong,
I’m still here today, so I must belong.
[PRE-CHORUS]
I gave my pain to God in the dark,
When I couldn’t find a single spark.
I said, “Lord, if You’re really near,
Give me one more reason to stay right here.”
[CHORUS]
When I was lost, when I was low,
When I had nowhere left to go,
I heard His voice above my fear,
Saying, “Son, I’m still right here.”
I’ve got Momma in my soul,
Every scar has made me whole.
I fought my demons, faced my fears,
Cried a thousand silent tears.
I thought my story ended there,
But God was holding me somewhere.
I don’t know why, I don’t know how…
But He didn’t let me go.
He kept me here…
He kept me here.
[VERSE 2]
I watched my Momma fight that fight,
Watched cancer steal her day and night.
I held her hand while my heart broke down,
Tried to stay strong, but I almost drowned.
And when she left, something left in me,
A piece of my heart I could never retrieve.
But I swear when I’m hurting and nobody knows,
I feel her beside me wherever I go.
So I wear my tattoos like I wear my heart,
Every line tells a story, every scar has a mark.
They know where I’ve been, they know what I survived,
Proof of the battles that kept me alive.
[BRIDGE — BUILDING]
There were nights I was tired of fighting,
Nights when the dark kept pulling me under.
I couldn’t see hope, couldn’t see tomorrow,
Couldn’t see past all the pain and the sorrow.
But I’m not the man that pain tried to make,
I’m still standing after every mistake.
I bent, I broke, but I didn’t disappear,
I cried, I hurt, but I’m still here.
Momma, I hope that you’re proud of me,
I’m becoming the man you always believed I could be.
God, I gave You the pieces I couldn’t repair,
And somehow You turned all that hurt into prayer.
So if somebody out there is losing their fight,
Hiding their tears every damn night,
Just know your story ain’t finished yet,
There’s a tomorrow you haven’t met.
[FINAL CHORUS — BIG]
When I was lost, when I was low,
When I had nowhere left to go,
I heard His voice above my fear,
Saying, “Son, I’m still right here.”
I’ve got Momma in my soul,
Every scar has made me whole.
I fought my demons, faced my fears,
Cried a thousand silent tears.
I thought my story ended there,
But God was holding me somewhere.
I don’t know why, I don’t know how…
But He didn’t let me go.
He kept me here…
Through every tear…
Through every fight…
Through every night…
HE KEPT ME HERE.
