hide and watch,

They said I was foolish, said I was slow

Sitting in silence while the world said “Go”

But I’ve seen seeds break through the stone

And I’ve learned some storms you face alone

I don’t chase what ain’t mine yet

I don’t beg, I don’t forget

I just breathe, I just believe

That what I need will come to me

Hide and watch — let the fire burn

Hide and watch — let the seasons turn

I’ve got faith in the unseen thread

In the prayers I never said

Hide and watch — through the ache and rain

Hide and watch — through the loss and strain

I don’t rush, I don’t plead

I just trust what I can’t see

They run fast, they talk loud

They build towers just to please the crowd

But I’ve seen truth in quiet things

Like broken wings that learn to sing

I’ve walked roads that didn’t bend

Held my breath and lost a friend

But every tear that touched the ground

Grew something sacred, safe, and sound

Patience ain’t weakness, it’s a flame

That burns steady through the shame

And faith ain’t blind, it’s just brave

Enough to wait beside the grave

Hide and watch — let the roots grow deep

Hide and watch — through the nights I weep

I’ve got hope in the slowest bloom

In the silence of the room

Hide and watch — through the doubt and fear

Hide and watch — till the light draws near

I don’t know when, I don’t know how

But I believe in the now
