[Verse 1]
Scuffed shoes on a cracked sidewalk
Hands still stained from the week I lost
Scrollin' through sins on a bright blue screen
Heart say “run
” but my pride say “lean”
Mama got prayers on the fridge with tape
I got excuses and a tired face
Every mirror show the same old mess
Every step feel heavy in my chest
[Chorus]
Righteousness
You cover me
Like a clean white shirt on a guilty street
I fall down
You stand me up
Turn my poison into Your cup
Righteousness
You wear my shame
Write Your name across my blame
I can’t earn
I just confess
You wrap me up in righteousness
[Verse 2]
Late night
Drive-thru
Car in park
Talkin’ to the ceiling in the dark
All my “next time” promises piled high
All my secret fears I never write
[low vocal register] “If I change
Will they still call me?”
“If I speak
Will the old me haunt me?”
Then a quiet thought cut through my spin
“You’re not your yesterday
You’re Mine again”
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I bring the dirt
You bring the gold
I bring the cracks
You make ’em glow
I bring the doubt
You bring the rest
I bring the grave
You bring the breath
[crecendo] Hands in the air like surrender
Not flex
Tears on my face
But this ain’t regret
This is the moment my soul admits
I’m not enough—and that’s the gift
[Chorus]
