Built To Bend

Pressure on my back, but I ain’t fold

Heart got bruised, but it never turned cold

They see the walk, but don’t know the road

(Yeah… been through it)

Grace held me when the silence spoke

I’ve cracked, I’ve slipped, I’ve prayed on the floor

But I came back stronger than before

I don’t break—I transform

(This pain got purpose…)

I’m built to bend, not break

Storms may come, I still stand straight

Through the fire, I elevate

(Yeah…)

What they thought would take me out, only made me great

I’m built to bend…

Had nights I didn’t think I’d see the light

Questions in my chest, but my soul still fights

You can’t measure faith by sight

(Ooo…)

It’s in the stretch, the long, long nights

Steel in my spirit, roots in the ground

Even when I’m low, I turn it around

I don’t run—I hold it down

(Planted… unshaken…)

I’m built to bend, not break

Storms may come, I still stand straight

Through the fire, I elevate

What they thought would take me out, only made me great

I’m built to bend…

So if you see me leaning, know I’m not weak

I’m just learning how to move in peace

Faith don’t snap—it speaks

I’m built to bend…
