BRANDED VERSE 1 Rolled in sideways, chaos in my head, Moonfire burning wild behind my eyes instead, Mustang staring like he knew my soul, Like, “Boy, you ain’t nowhere near control.” Rocky yelling, “Boy don’t hold that rope!” Next thing flying was a man and hope, Mentors laughing, “LET GO! LET GO!” Dirt in my teeth down in Arkansas. CHORUS Hey now — Branded tamed my soul, Wild horse, wild heart, God in control, Broken men out chasing light, Praying in the dust on a Friday night. Hey now — Branded brought me back, This dream was born from a horse named Freedom, Riding Freedom through the hurt and the fight, Thanking God underneath them stars tonight. VERSE 2 One old boy said, “Watch this here,” Horse spun round and launched his rear, Hit the dirt hard, heard everybody laugh, Even he was grinning after all that. Dust in the air by the barn out back, Boots on the wood, no turning back, Rough voices rising, broken but true, Talking to God like we always do. CHORUS (VETERANS + FIRST RESPONDERS) Hey now — Branded tamed my soul, Wild horse, wild heart, God in control, VETERANS — standing strong tonight, First responders right there in the fight. Trying to heal from the hell we’ve been through, Trying to breathe in something honest and true, Out where the dust and the broken meet light, God keeps showing up on a Friday night. BRIDGE Lindsey built this place with faith and grit, And Freedom was the heartbeat born in it, A wild horse dream turned into a place, Where broken souls find saving grace. And the good Lord moves through broken things, Through battered hearts and horses’ wings, Freedom runs through every prayer we say, Pulling the heavy chains away. Funny how healing can start this way, With dirt on your boots at the end of the day. FINAL CHORUS Hey now — Branded changed my life, Pulled me through the dark somehow alive, And when the week’s done and we all head home, We ain’t quite as lost as when we rolled in alone. VETERANS — still standing here, First responders shaking off fear, Wild hearts running free tonight, Thanking God where the mustangs ride. OUTRO Yeah… Chaos in my head got quiet somehow… Moonfire still burning behind my eyes… Freedom… the dream still carries us now… And thank God for Branded tonight.
