Lyrics

I tuck you in, you’re out cold
One more kiss, one more hold
Candlelight, door half-closed
The house goes still, now the weight unfolds
The clock keeps talkin’, it don’t slow down
Bills stack high, sleep won’t come around
My mind runs circles, heart stayin’ loud
Tryna build a future ’fore the sun comes out

Could shut it down, let the screen babysit
But time’s too precious, I ain’t missin’ it
So I trade rest for one more brick
One more swing, one more inch

I’m tryna do it right
Still searchin’ for a sign
Ask God if He’ll meet me halfway
Before I run outta time

I show up every night
Even when I’m worn thin
Faith in the dark, if I do my part
I know He’ll handle when

I don’t talk, absorb the pain
Strap my boots, walk through rain
Put out fires, take the blame
Bleed and bruise, I can’t complain

I chop that oak, one cut at a time
Dragons don’t die on the first try
Ain’t no applause when you do it right
Just another dawn, another fight

I open my hands, not just my plans
Tryna trust You more than I understand
I don’t need gold or thunder signs
Just tell me I’m early, not left behind

I know You work when I can’t see
I know You’re buildin’ somethin’ in me
So I’ll keep swingin’ till morning breaks
I trust Your timing — You’re never late

I’m tryna do it right
Still searchin’ for a sign
But I’m walkin’ by faith, not fear tonight
Even when I’m runnin’ on empty inside

I’ll show up every day
Walk the line between love and the grind
If I stay true and don’t lose sight
I know God makes it right — right on time
