Watch Over My Own

[Verse 1]
Knuckles cracked on the steering wheel
Talking straight at an empty sky
Every word feels rusted shut
But I still try
I still try
I don't know if You hear this
Or if it just dies in the air
But if my voice keeps breaking
Let Your hand stay there
[Chorus]
If I lose my faith
Please watch over my own
Every breath they take
Guard their skin and bone
If I fall away
Leave Your light in their home
If You won't move this mountain
Stand beside them when they climb alone
[Verse 2]
I have questions I can't kill
They keep screaming in my head
Why the good ones get buried young
While the cruel wake up in their beds
I'm a cracked
Unsteady altar
All my vows stained and torn
But over every fragile heart I love
Let Your fire stay warm
[Chorus]
If I lose my faith
Please watch over my own
Every breath they take
Guard their skin and bone
If I fall away
Leave Your light in their home
If You won't move this mountain
Stand beside them when they climb alone
[Bridge]
Take my doubt
Take my rage
Use my hurt
As their cage of grace (oh)
If my lungs give out
And I fade from sight
Wrap them up
In Your endless fight
[Chorus]
If I lose my faith
Please watch over my own
Every breath they take
Guard their skin and bone
If I fall away
Leave Your light in their home
If You won't move this mountain
Stand beside them when they climb alone
Stand beside them when they climb alone

Chorus explodes into soaring, layered vocals over wide open chords and sliding lead lines. Brief half-time bridge with dissonant harmonies and gang vocals before a final, anthemic chorus; drums stay punchy and aggressive, bass glued to the kick for weight., praise, male vocals
