Verse 1
Dry your wings, little sister, wipe the ash from your eyes
You’re praying to a memory that never told you the truth
He wore a halo made of lies, called it virtue and light
Now you’re bending your spine just to carry his bruise
Pre-Chorus
I’ve watched stars learn the hard way
Who deserves their tears
Mercy without wisdom
Is how heaven disappears
Chorus
Don’t let your heart lose gravity, don’t let your reason fall
You’re not weak for feeling, but you’re wrong to feel it all
For someone who chose cruelty, who never heeded the call
Lift your eyes, remember who you are
Verse 2
You say he was “misunderstood,” just a soul led astray
But you didn’t hear the screams every time he walked away
Compassion isn’t blindness, and love is not a lie
I won’t let you burn the scales just to keep him alive
Pre-Chorus
Justice isn’t anger
And mercy isn’t doom
But mourning the wicked
Won’t make them holy too
Chorus
Don’t let your heart lose gravity, don’t let your purpose fall
You were forged to stand in truth, not to shatter at a wall
I know grief feels righteous when the wound is still raw
But grief can be a chain if you let it stall
Bridge
Hear me now, and hear me clear, I’ve stood since the first dawn
I’ve seen angels dim themselves for monsters they mourned
Say it with me, learn it well, carve it into your song:
killing sinners isn't judgment
Judgment is knowing right from wrong
Final Chorus
So rise above the ache tonight, don’t drift, don’t stall
Let wisdom hold your wings when the heavens feel small
You don’t honor the light by defending the fall
You honor it by standing tall
Outro
I am your shield, your voice, your flame
I scold because I love you, not because I blame
Now spread your wings, reclaim your name
And let the dead weight go
