Prompt / Lyrics
[Spoken Word - calm, deep, tired, honest] “This is a prayer for the ones who have a roof… but no room to breathe. For the ones who smile through it, and hope the numbers work this month.” [Intro - Instrumental] [Verse 1] Lights are on but barely so Rent is due, the fridge is low Two alarms, one tired soul Another day, another load Bills stacked high on the counter top Every dollar already spent Paycheck gone before it lands Trying not to panic yet [Pre-Chorus] They don’t ask for sympathy They just grind and carry on But the weight don’t show outside When the breaking point is gone [Chorus] So God, if You’re listening tonight Hear the ones who can’t keep up They work so hard, still fall behind Still praying it’s enough They’re holding on with shaking hands Afraid of one small slip So God, if You’re listening tonight Please don’t let them miss [Verse 2] Kids asleep in borrowed beds Parents counting cents again Skipping meals, stretching time Just to keep the lights alive Medical bills, rising costs Gas and groceries eating hope Every “almost” turns to fear Every month a tighter rope [Pre-Chorus 2] They’re not careless, they’re not weak They’re exhausted, doing best Trying hard to stay afloat With the weight pressed on their chest [Chorus - stronger] So God, if You’re listening tonight Hear the ones who can’t keep up They work so hard, still fall behind Still praying it’s enough They’re holding on with shaking hands Afraid of one small slip So God, if You’re listening tonight Please don’t let them miss [Bridge - strong build-up] And if the help doesn’t fall from skies If there’s no miracle in sight Let it come through kindness first Let it come through shared light Let us check on those we love Not just when they break Let us stop pretending “fine” Means they’re okay [Final Chorus (expanded, hopeful)] So God, if You’re listening tonight Hear the ones who can’t keep up They work so hard, still fall behind Still praying it’s enough They’re holding on with shaking hands Afraid of one small slip So God, if You’re listening tonight Please don’t let them miss Because hope can live in small relief In one bill paid, one breath Hope can live in holding on When there’s nothing left And God, I still believe somehow They’ll find steadier ground They’re still here, they’re still trying They’re still standing now [Outro - Instrumental] [Spoken Word] “If you’re barely making it… you’re not failing. You’re surviving. And that counts more than the world admits.”
