[Intro]
Yeah
You hear it before he says a word
[Verse 1]
Fire in his voice, pain under every phrase
He carries whole winters through the middle of the day
Even the Lord can feel the weight inside his chest
He asks for one quiet breath, the night gives him the rest
He fights demons bigger than the ego in the room
They wear familiar faces, they keep pacing through his gloom
Heart feels heavy, brain on fire, hands begin to shake
Still he puts his shoes beside the bed for morning's sake
[Pre-Chorus]
If you listen close, you can hear the cracks
Every brave "I'm fine" got a storm behind the mask
[Chorus]
There's fire in his voice, but he ain't gone yet
Pain in every word, still he pays that debt
Weak in the knees, hunger in the tone
He walks through the dark, but he walks on his own
[Verse 2]
Dinner left untouched, cold plate beside the sink
He stares into the water, too tired to even think
Pride says keep it hidden, truth says let it spill
So he writes another confession with a trembling will
His mother hears the silence when he says he needs some space
His brother sees the battle written underneath his face
No crown, no clean victory, no sermon from above
Just a pulse beneath the pressure and a reason not to run
[Pre-Chorus]
If you listen close, you can hear the cracks
Every brave "I'm fine" got a storm behind the mask
[Chorus]
There's fire in his voice, but he ain't gone yet
Pain in every word, still he pays that debt
Weak in the knees, hunger in the tone
He walks through the dark, but he walks on his own
[Bridge]
Lord, if You can feel him, don't let silence be the sign
Put a little strength inside the places he can't find
He ain't asking for a halo, he ain't asking to be saved
Just enough light to recognize the man he kept in chains
[Final Chorus]
There's fire in his voice, now the room can hear
Pain in every word, but the truth is drawing near
Weak in the knees, hunger in the tone
He walks through the dark, and he brings himself home
[Outro]
Fire in his voice
Still a heartbeat underneath
Still here
