When I can't see you

Verse 1 (very soft, fragile, intimate – almost whispered, piano + pad)

I wake up with the weight again,

Another wrong turn in my head.

I replay every choice I made,

Every word I wish I’d never said.

Some days are louder than my faith,

I search for You, but hear the noise.

I keep on living, keep on standing,

But I don’t recognize my voice.

Pre-Chorus (gentle build, restrained emotion)

I’m trying hard to do this right,

But I don’t know my worth tonight.

Chorus (calm but grounded, comforting – not loud yet)

When I can’t see You, You are near,

When I don’t hear You, You still speak.

When I believe I’m falling short,

You see the strength I don’t yet see.

I say I’m lost, I say I’m weak,

But You know who I’m meant to be.

When I can’t see the truth in me,

You see me clearly.

Verse 2 (slightly stronger, controlled pain in the voice)

I dream about a life with love,

A heart at rest, a place to land.

But some nights I’m on my knees in tears,

Begging You to take my hand.

I feel alone, I feel forgotten,

Like I’m shouting through the dark.

I ask You where You are right now,

When everything feels way too hard.

Pre-Chorus (more intensity, emotional honesty)

I need You more than I can say,

Please just show me the way.

Chorus (fuller voice, wider range, emotional lift)

When I can’t see You, You are near,

When I don’t hear You, You still speak.

When I believe I’m falling short,

You see the strength I don’t yet see.

I say I’m broken by my past,

You say my heart is still intact.

When I can’t see the truth in me,

You see me clearly.

Bridge (start very soft → slow, dramatic build)

I’ve made mistakes, I’ve closed my eyes,

I’ve chosen fear so many times.

(pause – let the words breathe)

You’ve seen it all, each step, each tear,

And never once have You left my side.

Why does it hurt, why does it take so long?

(music swells)

Because becoming strong

Is how I become who I’m meant to be.

Final Chorus (begin soft → rise to powerful, cinematic climax)

When I can’t see You, You are near,

When I can’t hear You, You still speak.

You close some doors, You open more,

You know the pain I need to heal.

Every prayer I’ve ever prayed

Is held in Your hands, not pushed away.

I will be happy — I will see,

Even if I don’t believe it yet.

Outro (very soft, almost spoken, minimal music)

You see my heart.

You know my name.

You’ve always loved me —

Just the same.
