Stay With Me

[Spoken Word]

“This is a prayer for the ones who are tired of fighting…
and for the ones who don’t know how to ask for help anymore.
If you’re still here —
please stay.”

[Intro - Instrumental]

[Verse 1]

Some fight bottles, some fight pills
Some fight ghosts that won’t be still
Some wake up and miss a name
That death refuses to explain

Some chase numb just to breathe
Some can’t sleep, some won’t eat
Some smile wide, then break alone
Every night feels like a stone

[Pre-Chorus]

They’re not broken, they’re in pain
They’re not weak for feeling this
They don’t need another reason
Just a hand that doesn’t let go

[Chorus]

So God, if You’re listening tonight
Hold the ones who can’t hold on
The ones who hurt, the ones who ache
The ones who feel too far gone

If they can’t see tomorrow yet
If hope feels paper-thin
God, stay with them tonight
Until they can stay again

[Verse 2]

Empty chairs and quiet rooms
Birthdays come, but not too soon
Every “what if,” every “why”
Every tear they try to hide

Relapse shame and second tries
Promises they hate they broke
Every breath a borrowed thing
Every prayer stuck in the throat

[Pre-Chorus 2]

They don’t need to be fixed today
They don’t need the perfect words
They just need to know they matter
Even now — especially now

[Chorus - Powerful]

So God, if You’re listening tonight
Hold the ones who can’t hold on
The ones who hurt, the ones who ache
The ones who feel too far gone

If they can’t see tomorrow yet
If hope feels paper-thin
God, stay with them tonight
Until they can stay again

[Bridge (gentle, life-affirming)]

And if they’re standing on the edge
Thinking silence means relief
Remind them pain is loud — but temporary
Love still speaks

Let it be a voice, a text
A memory they forgot
Let it be the smallest reason
To stay a little longer — just one more thought

[Final Chorus]

So God, if You’re listening tonight
Hold the ones who can’t hold on
The ones who hurt, the ones who ache
The ones who feel too far gone

If they can’t see tomorrow yet
If hope feels paper-thin
God, stay with them tonight
Until they can stay again

Because healing isn’t instant
And strength can look like rest
Surviving is still winning
Breathing is still best

And God, I still believe somehow
This isn’t where it ends
If all they do is stay tonight
That’s enough — that’s everything

[Outro - Instrumental]

[Spoken Word]

“If you’re hearing this…
you’re not a burden.
You’re not alone.
And the world is better
with you still in it.”
