He Saw It Too

I was paid to walk through hell, forgot who I was back then

Saw more last breaths than I’ll ever see first ones again

Held life in my hands, watched it slip away without a trace

They said, “Take this pill, you’ll be okay,” but pills don’t reach a soul in that kind of place

A shoebox full of labels that were never mine to wear

Dreamless sleep, numb my grief, but I still found it there

Nightmares don’t need silence, they scream in broad daylight

And no one sees the soul you lose just trying to save a life

But He saw it too, every call, every tear

Every sleepless night, every echo of fear

He held the weight that I tried to disguise

Looked past the smile and into my eyes

And He shaped something stronger from all I’d been through

Turning the broken into something brand new

I’ve seen good men crumble, taken out by unseen wars

The kind of pain no uniform prepares a soul for

And I watched it steal the light from someone I held dear

That’s when my own walls gave in and I disappeared

He doesn’t hand out medals, but He gives back what was lost

Not in bandages or bottles, but at the foot of the cross

He knows the names I couldn’t save, and the weight I used to hide

But He’s restoring what was broken one breath at a time

’Cause He saw it too, every crack, every scar

Every moment we forgot who we really are

He stayed through the wreckage, through the darkest place

Held the pieces no one else could face

And He shaped something stronger from all we’d been through

Turning the broken into something brand new
