⸻
Intro (8 bars — time passes)
• Piano plays a repeating figure
• Violin enters softly, unfinished
(Nothing resolves yet — on purpose.)
⸻
Verse 1
I saw it clearly
Before it was true
A future spoken
Too soon
They took the coat
They took the name
But they couldn’t touch
What the dream contained
⸻
Pre-Chorus
The dream didn’t change
The season did
Favor waits
While patience builds
⸻
Chorus
I stayed
When nothing moved
I served
When no one knew
The promise didn’t leave
It learned my pace
Sometimes favor
Looks like waiting in place
⸻
Instrumental Turn (4 bars)
• Violin repeats a restrained phrase
• Piano never speeds up
(Years pass here.)
⸻
Verse 2
I told the truth
And paid the price
Faith doesn’t bargain
For a softer life
From pit to prison
Same refrain
Excellence carried
Through the chain
⸻
Pre-Chorus
You don’t rush
What God designed
Authority forms
In hidden time
⸻
Chorus
I stayed
When doors stayed closed
I kept the gift
Without the throne
The dream didn’t die
It grew a spine
Waiting taught me
How to rule in time
⸻
Bridge (everything drops back)
If He spoke it
He will stand
Between the dream
And the plan
Delay is not
A broken sign
It’s preparation
In disguise
(Violin begins to rise — slow, assured)
⸻
Final Chorus (key lift to B♭ major)
I rose
When the time was right
Not early
Not overnight
What waited long
Could now remain
Because patience
Trained my name
⸻
Outro
• Piano resolves gently
• Violin completes the opening phrase
• Silence — nothing wasted
