Prompt / Lyrics
Intro (spoken, low, reflective) Sometimes I just sit in the hallway… After everybody’s asleep. And I listen. No yelling. No glass breaking. No slammed doors. Just breathing. And it’s crazy… How silence used to scare the hell outta me. Now it’s peace. ⸻ (Soft piano comes in. Beat builds gently.) ⸻ Verse 1 My kids don’t flinch when a door shuts loud They don’t scan the room like danger’s around They don’t brace for storms in a kitchen light They just laugh and sleep through the night They run to her when they scrape their knee No fear in their eyes, just certainty She kneels down slow, wipes tears away Makes the whole damn world feel okay Sometimes I just sit and watch How she loves like it ain’t been taught How she puts them before herself Like that shit just runs in her heart ⸻ Hook Home feels safe And I didn’t know what that meant ‘Til I saw her hold our babies Like heaven was intentional She gives them what I never had Patience, warmth, and grace Sometimes I look at her and think Why the hell couldn’t I have a mom like that? But my kids do And that’s enough for me ⸻ Verse 2 She remembers every little thing Favorite colors, broken dreams Stays up late when they can’t sleep Even when she’s runnin’ on empty She don’t yell just to win a fight She don’t cut with her voice She disciplines with steady hands And makes correction a choice I used to think love was loud Sharp words and slammed doors Now I see it’s quiet strength And showin’ up for more I ain’t bitter, just honest Sometimes it still hits deep How different my life might’ve been If I’d known that kind of peace ⸻ Hook Home feels safe And I didn’t know what that meant ‘Til I saw her hold our babies Like heaven was intentional She gives them what I never had Patience, warmth, and grace Sometimes I still wonder why Why the hell I didn’t get that But my kids do And that’s enough for me ⸻ Bridge (soft, reflective) I don’t resent the past I just see the contrast She’s proof love ain’t random It’s a choice you build to last Maybe I didn’t get it So I’d recognize it now So I’d protect it like hell And never let it break this house ⸻ Final Hook (quieter, deeper) Home feels safe And that still feels strange But every day I’m grateful That my children don’t know that pain She gives them what I never had And I see it in their face Sometimes I still ask God why But mostly I just say thank You Home feels safe ⸻ Outro I didn’t grow up in peace. But I helped build one. And that’s everything.
