Divided

Verse 1

When did we get this far down the road

Throwin’ stones at hearts we don’t even know

No care for the damage, no pause for the pain

Just shoutin’ our anger like it don’t leave a stain

Screens light up with a twisted truth

Headlines sell fear, not proof

Every channel pickin’ sides to choose

While the rest of us are left confused

Pre-Chorus

We forgot how to listen

Forgot how to see

A neighbor ain’t an enemy

Just ’cause they don’t think like me

Chorus

We’re divided, cut in two

Drawin’ lines we don’t need to

Brothers fightin’ brothers in the name of “right”

While the real truth’s losin’ the fight

Yeah, we’re divided more every day

Pointin’ fingers instead of prayin’

This ain’t the land I was raised in

But I still believe we can be saved from it

Verse 2

Cities burn from somebody’s rage

Looted stores, lives lost on the page

One mistake and they paint ‘em all bad

Forget the good ones wearin’ the badge

Yeah, there’s good and bad in every line

Uniforms don’t define the crime

Tearin’ down the ones who stand

Tryin’ to keep peace in a broken land

Pre-Chorus

We cheer for chaos, call it change

Normalize things that feel deranged

Lose our roots, rewrite the rules

Tellin’ lies like it makes us cool

Chorus

We’re divided, black and white

No more gray, no middle ground tonight

Arguin’ louder, listenin’ less

Callin’ confusion “progress”

Yeah, we’re divided, hearts at war

Forgetting what we stand for

Still I’m kneelin’ on this floor

Prayin’ we don’t lose anymore

Bridge

When did we stop protectin’ home

Put strangers first, leave our own alone

Tell kids they’re lost before they’re found

Turn common sense upside down

I ain’t perfect, I ain’t clean

Just a sinner down on his knees

With all these problems crowdin’ in

I’ll pray for you—whether you like it or not, amen

Final Chorus

We’re divided, soul to soul

Patchin’ cracks with hate, not hope

But I still believe there’s a better way

If we’d humble ourselves and pray

Yeah, we’re divided, but I won’t quit

I’ll love you even if you don’t agree with it

In a world gone deaf and blind

I’ll pray for peace—one heart at a time

Outro

So before we light the match or load the blame

Before we trade our love for pride and shame

Remember we all bleed the same red lines

Under the same stars, just tryin’ to get by

I ain’t here to win or prove I’m right

Just lift a prayer into the night

For a world that’s hurt, scared, and confused

Yeah, we’re divided…

But God ain’t done with me or you.
