Walk away

(Verse 1)

This world says swing back, don’t you turn your cheek

Say you’re half a man if you don’t make it bleed

They preach eye for an eye like it’s holy law

But I’ve seen where it leads, yeah, I’ve felt that cost

(Bridge)

They say raise your voice, put your fist through the wall

You say slow your breath, don’t answer the call

I been told walking out means I already lost

But you say it’s the bravest thing I ever fought

(Chorus)

’Cause walking away don’t make you weak

And talking it out don’t break your spine

This world sells hate like it’s gasoline

You pour love on a fire they call mine

They say strike first or you’ll fall behind

You say that road just leads to death

Maybe mine, maybe someone else’s life

Lord, teach me how to walk away strong

(Verse 2)

When did being numb get so damn cool

And pride turn kings into painted fools

We wear our chains like they’re gold and free

But we’re slaves to the things we don’t wanna see

(Bridge)

We call it temptation, then call it fate

Play the victim while we retaliate

We shut our ears when the truth cuts deep

Is it fear of the truth or insecurity?

(Chorus)

’Cause walking away don’t make you weak

And mercy ain’t the lack of fight

This world teaches teeth for teeth

You whisper love in the dead of night

We’re all just broken, skin and bone

Trying to prove we’re tough enough

When being one flesh should’ve been our home

Lord, teach me how to walk away strong

(Verse 3)

Why do they sell their bodies for a little worth

’Cause nobody showed ’em what they’re really worth

Depression spins like a vinyl groove

Same sad song, nothing ever moves

We drive our lives through a rearview glass

Staring at wreckage we already passed

Then we crash hard and pray to survive

Still blaming yesterday for today’s fight

(Bridge)

We chase the likes, the cards, the screens

Believe in numbers more than You believe in me

Trophies on shelves, but the soul still begs

“What’s next?” with an emptiness that never rests

Just like Eve, we let the serpent speak

Sink his teeth into our peace

Poison thoughts, stain the heart

Bleeding alone in the dark

(Chorus)

Walking away don’t make you weak

It might just save somebody’s life

This world’s at war with everything

You call holy, good, and right

Without Your voice we self-destruct

Call it freedom, call it fate

God, this world is eating us alive

So teach us how to walk away strong

(Chorus)

’Cause walking away don’t make you weak

And mercy ain’t the lack of fight

This world teaches teeth for teeth

You whisper love in the dead of night

We’re all just broken, skin and bone

Trying to prove we’re tough enough

When being one flesh should’ve been our home

Lord, teach me how to walk away strong

(Outro)

Yeah, we’re lost without Your light

Hands on the wheel, wrong road, wrong fight

If grace is real, don’t let me be

Another man destroyed by me
