Already known

(Verse 1)

Everybody’s got an opinion

Saying who I’ll be, how I’ll fall apart

They talk like they wrote my ending

Like they know my name better than my heart

But I was spoken before I was breathing

Marked out long before the noise

If everything’s already been named

Why would I let strangers choose my voice?

(Bridge)

You say wait, even when it hurts

You say trust, even when it’s dark

Time keeps ticking, I’m holding my breath

But your word never misses its mark

(Chorus)

I’m already known, yeah, before I was broken

Before I was scared, before I was alone

You see the end from the start of my story

So why would I listen to lies they throw?

People disappoint, they fade like smoke

But you don’t change, you don’t let go

I’m already known—

So I don’t need their truth to feel whole

(Verse 2)

I tried putting faith in faces

That promised more than they could give

They talk loud but they don’t mean it

They don’t know the life I live

You search the heart, you read the silence

Every motive, every tear

You say I was set apart

Even when the path’s unclear

(Bridge)

You don’t lie, you don’t forget

You don’t say things you won’t do

When the world feels heavy on my chest

I remember who’s pulling me through

(Chorus)

I’m already known, yeah, before I was broken

Before I was scared, before I was alone

You see the end from the start of my story

So why would I listen to lies they throw?

People disappoint, they fade like smoke

But you don’t change, you don’t let go

I’m already known—

So I don’t need their truth to feel whole

(Verse)

They say talk first, think later

But I’d rather open your word

I don’t wanna sound so confident

About things I’ve never heard

You say the road’s not mine to figure out

Every step’s already planned

If the world is loud and cruel tonight

I’ll still be safe in your hands

(Bridge)

There’ll be trouble, yeah, I know it

I’ve felt the weight of it all

But you said peace lives inside you

And you already won this war

(Chorus Final)

I’m already known, already chosen

Written in more than a temporary tone

When the books are opened, when truth is spoken

I know where my hope is sewn

Everything works, even the pain

For the ones you call by name

I’m already known—

And your love won’t walk away

(Outro)

So I’ll commit every plan, every fear

Every dream I’m scared to start

If you made me, if you keep me

Then you won’t abandon your art
