Intro (Minimal piano – sparse, low register)
(Single notes. Long decay. Almost silence.)
Twelve years…
Still bleeding…
Still breathing…
⸻
Verse 1 (Low baritone – restrained, close-mic)
Twelve years carrying a sickness
Like a sentence carved in bone
Spent my breath on broken answers
Every cure just left me cold
I learned how to move in shadows
How to disappear in pain
‘Cause the law don’t make room for mercy
And shame don’t loosen chains
⸻
Pre-Chorus (Baritone rises – tension building)
If they saw what I was holding
They’d push me further down
So I buried all my crying
In the noise of the crowd
⸻
Chorus (Clean vocal – wide, emotional)
If I can just touch Him
I don’t need to be known
I don’t need a word spoken
Just the hem of His coat
If I can just touch Him
Before hope lets go
I believe there’s healing
In the hem of His coat
⸻
Verse 2 (Baritone with grit – drums enter, restrained)
He was moving through the people
Like thunder wrapped in flesh
Every step felt heavy
Like He carried every death
They were screaming out for wonders
I was choking back my fear
Didn’t ask Him to look at me
Just don’t pass me here
⸻
Pre-Chorus 2 (Half-growl → clean lift)
I didn’t reach for His attention
I reached because I was done
Faith don’t always shout for answers
Sometimes faith just runs
⸻
Chorus 2 (Full band – heavier, wider)
If I can just touch Him
I don’t need to be known
I don’t need a word spoken
Just the hem of His coat
If I can just touch Him
Before hope lets go
I believe there’s healing
In the hem of His coat
⸻
Bridge (Breakdown – growl, slow and crushing)
WHO TOUCHED ME?
(pause)
Power…
Left…
Me…
(Drums drop out)
It was me.
⸻
Bridge 2 (Clean vocal – exposed, emotional peak)
I fell to the ground shaking
Every truth came undone
Twelve years poured out in seconds
Every war I never won
I waited for the judgment
But He lifted up my face
Called me daughter in the daylight
Put mercy in my place
⸻
Final Chorus (Massive swell – clean high range over crushing band)
I didn’t just touch Him
He called me whole
Faith pulled healing
From the hem of His coat
I didn’t just touch Him
I came back home
He spoke peace over chaos
And told my blood to go
⸻
Outro (Half-growl → whisper, instruments drop)
I came for healing…
He gave me peace…
(piano note rings)
