[Intro]
Whispers in the dark, a flame that bites the cold air,
I lace my fears with prayer, a quiet, stubborn prayer.
[Verse 1]
You call me broken, say I’m nothing, just a shadow on the wall,
But I hear a louder beating heart behind these eyes that stall.
The weight of a courtroom lie sits heavy on my chest,
I cry to the heavens, “Is there justice in this broken nest?”
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m running through the rain of knives they throw my way,
Calling out to You, my voice a tether to the day.
[Chorus]
Protect my rights, hold up what’s true inside,
Help me stand when the world misreads my light.
If mercy fails, then lift me from this pain I hide,
I need Your justice, God, to be my guide.
[Verse 2]
Betrayal crawls through the rooms where trust should bloom,
Faces glare like statues, wearing judgment as their plume.
But beneath the masks, a patient fire still burns,
I’m more than misread lines and the cruel lessons learned.
[Pre-Chorus]
Let truth rise up where the lies have taken bloom,
Turn my night to morning with a break of room.
[Chorus]
Protect my rights, hold up what’s true inside,
Help me stand when the world misreads my light.
If mercy fails, then lift me from this pain I hide,
I need Your justice, God, to be my guide.
[Bridge]
Outside looks dark, but I’m a beacon held alive,
Your gaze can see the ink behind the ironies we contrive.
[Chorus]
Protect my rights, hold up what’s true inside,
Help me stand when the world misreads my light.
If mercy fails, then lift me from this pain I hide,
I need Your justice, God, to be my guide.
[Outro]
So I’ll cry out again, into the quiet night I call,
Knowing You hear every tear that falls.
