[Verse 1]
You don’t understand, I can see it in your eyes
You think the way I smile don’t match this life
Like I’m laughing at a joke you never heard
Like I’m speaking in a different world
I was empty, yeah I played the part
Chasing things that never filled my heart
Tried to build a life that felt like mine
But it slipped through every time
[Pre-Chorus]
I walked alone down roads I chose
Thought I knew what mattered most
But grace was waiting in the fall
[Chorus]
I’ve already won
Before the day is done
Before the battles come
I’ve already won
Now the weight is gone
I don’t have to run
Even if it all comes undone
I’ve already won
[Verse 2]
God let me wander, let me learn the cost
Of living like I wasn’t lost
By the time I turned around
There was silence, there was no one else around
But I wasn’t as alone as I believed
There was mercy waiting there for me
In the quiet, in the wreckage too
I found something true
[Pre-Chorus]
Didn’t earn it, didn’t deserve
Still He gave me more than worth
And now I see it all
[Chorus]
I’ve already won
Before the day is done
Before the battles come
I’ve already won
Now the weight is gone
I don’t have to run
Even if it all comes undone
I’ve already won
[Bridge]
Now I see their faces in the morning light
Messy, broken, beautiful and mine
Every breath, every little thing
Feels like grace I didn’t bring
Used to fear what I can’t control
Money, health, the unknown road
Now I lay it down, let it go
And somehow peace just grows
[Break (soft, almost spoken)]
If it all disappeared tomorrow…
I’d still be okay
[Final Chorus]
I’ve already won
Yeah the work is done
Not because of who I’ve been
But because of who He is
So I’ll still smile on
When the night is long
Even if everything is gone
I’ve already won
[Outro]
You don’t understand…
But you might someday
Why I smile this way
