[Verse 1] I kept the names of those who left In little prayers beneath my breath My father’s heart , my grandma’s hands Two distant shores I cannot land A friend I lost, a love I failed A thousand dreams that never sailed And every tears I couldn’t hide Became an ocean run wildly deep inside [Pre-Chorus] I never asked for absolution Just one small mercy in this life But heaven kept its doors confined While I kept knocking every night [Chorus] So let it rain, let it rain on me Let everybody else go free All the love I never found Let it find somebody now If I must break, then let me break For every heart that needs a place If You won't answer when I cry Answer them, just one last try Oh god please One more try Oh god please One more try [Verse 2] I made a chapel of my grief And filled its pews with disbelief Recited psalms to empty air As if the dead could hear me there The years took more than they returned Some bridges fell, some letters burned Yet something sacred still survives In all the things I was denied [Pre-Chorus 2] I don't need proof that You exist Or compensation for what I miss Just take the blessings meant for me And give them where they'll bloom in peace [Chorus] So let it rain, let it rain on me Let everybody else go free All the love I never found Let it find somebody now If I must break, then let me break For every heart that needs a place If You won't answer when I cry Answer them, just one last try Oh god please One more try Oh god please One more try [Bridge —call & response chorus main singer & gospel choir ] For every child who waits for home For every soul who dies alone For every parent begging time For every dream as lost as mine If suffering could be exchanged I'd bear the weight, I'd take the blame But if my wounds can't set them free Don't let them suffer just like me May all my burning bridges Light up their way Light up the way [Final Chorus — gospel choir enters] So let it rain, let it rain on me Let everybody else go free All the love I never found Let it find somebody now If I must break, then let me break For every heart that needs a place If You won't answer when I cry Answer them, just one last try Oh god please One more try Oh god please One more try [Outro — solo piano] And if tomorrow never changes If there's no mercy left to find May someone wake to all the wonders I spent my whole life praying for Amen. To all of you You. Will survive Just one more try
