Bridge
AJ:
And what if you’re tired of doing what’s right?
Aaron:
Then I rest.
AJ:
What if you’re angry?
Aaron:
Then I pray.
AJ:
What if you’re hurt?
Aaron:
Then I heal.
AJ:
What if nobody understands?
Aaron:
Then I keep moving forward anyway.
AJ:
And if you fail?
Aaron:
Then I get back up.

Final Chorus
AJ:
You still hear me though.
I’m still inside you.
The anger.
The frustration.
The rage.
I’m not gone.
Aaron:
I know.
And maybe you’ll never be gone.
Maybe you’ll always be part of my story.
But you don’t control the pen anymore.
AJ:
So you’re choosing faith again?
Aaron:
I’m choosing growth.
I’m choosing peace.
I’m choosing purpose.
Even when I’m exhausted.
Even when I’m hurting.
Even when I want to quit.

Outro
AJ:
You know this battle isn’t over.
Aaron:
I know.
AJ:
I’ll be back.
Aaron:
Maybe.
But next time…
I won’t face you alone.
God and I will be waiting.
(Silence fills the room.)
(Aaron leans back on the couch, closes his eyes, and for the first time all day… breathes.)
