[Verse 1]
Dear God, I been tired
My hands look like they lied
I tried to build a light
But it kept burning out inside
I wore a smile like armor
Still bled through every seam
I prayed in empty rooms
And heard my own defeat
My mother said keep going
So I kept dragging on
But every step I took
Felt like a step too far gone
I got a spine full of thunder
And a heart full of dust
If I’m honest, I been breaking
Even when I say I trust
[Pre-Chorus]
So if You hear me now
I’m not trying to impress
I’m just a man in pieces
With a fist pressed to my chest
I need You in the dark
When my fear gets loud
If grace is for the falling
Then I’m falling now
[Chorus]
Dear God, are You there?
(are You there?)
I’m still on my knees
I don’t know how to breathe
Dear God, are You there?
(are You there?)
If You can still reach me
Then don’t let go of me
[Verse 2]
I’ve been counting every failure
Like it pays me in pain
Every scar I ever hid
Still knows my name
I said “I’m fine” too many times
Now the lie feels thin
I need a hand that doesn’t flinch
When the real me walks in
I got questions like a storm
Pounding on my roof
Why the good ones leave so early?
Why the wrong ones get the proof?
And I know I’m not perfect
That’s the part I hate
But if You can meet the broken
Then I’m standing at the gate
[Pre-Chorus]
So if You hear me now
I’m not trying to impress
I’m just a man in pieces
With a fist pressed to my chest
I need You in the dark
When my fear gets loud
If grace is for the falling
Then I’m falling now
[Chorus]
Dear God, are You there?
(are You there?)
I’m still on my knees
I don’t know how to breathe
Dear God, are You there?
(are You there?)
If You can still reach me
Then don’t let go of me
[Bridge]
If You’re the healer
Then touch these scars
If You’re the shepherd
Then come where I are
I’ve been lost in the rubble
I’ve been bent by the blow
But I still got a little flame
If You wanna take it home
[Final Chorus]
Dear God, are You there?
(are You there?)
I’m still on my knees
I don’t know how to breathe
Dear God, are You there?
(are You there?)
If You can still reach me
Then don’t let go of me
Dear God, are You there?
(are You there?)
I’m still on my knees
I don’t know how to breathe
Dear God, are You there?
(are You there?)
If You can still reach me
Then don’t let go of me
