Quiet Prayers 3

Truth hit slow…

Then it hit hard.

Verse 1

Didn’t fall at once, it crept in my chest

Quiet kind of pain that steals your breath

One minute solid, next I was gone

Ground gave way, nothing to stand on

Thought I knew love, thought I was safe

Something sacred cracked in my face

I tried to deny it, heart said no

Then everything I trusted let go

Pre-Chorus

Tears turned to shaking, shaking to fire

Had to stay calm for the ones I love

I swallowed the scream, held it inside

Talked to God with my head down low

🔥 Chorus / Hook

I said quiet prayers in the dark

When my whole world fell apart

I bent, I broke, but I stayed right here

Still breathing through the fear

They tried to bury my name

But I rose through the pain

Yeah, I held my ground

Through quiet prayers

Verse 2

Blamed my reflection, replayed the signs

“What if I saw it in time?”

Everybody talk when they ain’t been there

Easy words when you don’t feel the air

Then he looked at me calm and clean

Swore on a lie like it didn’t mean a thing

My blood burned hot, but I held my ground

Said my truth, then I turned around

Pre-Chorus 2

Hands were shaking, voice was low

Didn’t crash out, didn’t lose control

Left it with God, let karma hear

Walked away even drowning in fear

🔥 Chorus / Hook

I said quiet prayers in the dark

When my whole world fell apart

I bent, I broke, but I stayed right here

Still breathing through the fear

They tried to bury my name

But I rose through the pain

Yeah, I held my ground

Through quiet prayers

Bridge (strip back)

System watching, lights too bright

Felt alone in the longest nights

Truth came slow, cut real deep

But strength don’t sleep

Final Chorus (bigger)

I said quiet prayers in the dark

When my whole world fell apart

Not healed, not whole, but I survived

Still here, still alive

They tried to bury my name

But I rose through the pain

Yeah, I held my ground

Through quiet prayers

Outro

Still standing…

Through quiet prayers.
