Verse 1
I had a ball and a beat-up dream
Late nights in an empty gym
When life got loud, when home got hard
That court was where I hid my heart
Second year, everything felt right
Till my body gave up in a fight
Hospital room, doctor said
I shouldn’t be here, but here I am
Pre-Chorus
I’m thankful, but I’m breaking
Still breathing, still shaking
Chorus
Why did this have to happen to me, Lord?
You took my dream, it was my escape
I ran to it when life got heavy
Now I’m standing here face to face
You saved my life, and I know that’s grace
But I don’t understand Your ways
If You’re still holding on to me
Why did this have to happen to me?
Verse 2
Everyone says, “Be grateful now”
But they don’t hear the prayers I shout
I lost more than a game that day
I lost the place I ran away
I don’t doubt You’re good and kind
I just don’t see the bigger plan
If You hear me, help me know
I’m not alone in this
Pre-Chorus
I’m alive, but I’m hurting
Trying to trust what You’re working
Chorus
Why did this have to happen to me, Lord?
You took my dream, it was my escape
I ran to it when life got heavy
Now I’m standing here face to face
You saved my life, and I know that’s grace
But I don’t understand Your ways
If You’re still holding on to me
Why did this have to happen to me?
Bridge
Maybe You’re breaking what I leaned on
So I’d finally lean on You
Maybe You saw what I couldn’t
And You’re making all things new
Bridge (lift)
If I lost the thing I ran to
So I’d learn to run to You
Then I’ll trust You with the pain
And the life You pulled me through
Final Chorus
Maybe this had to happen to me, Lord
To show me You’re enough for me
You took my dream, my escape
But You stayed right here with me
You saved my life, You held my heart
When everything fell apart
If I’m still breathing, still believe
Then You’re not done with me
Outro
I don’t need every answer yet
I just need You with every step
I’m still here…
So You’re not done with me
