**Verse 1**
What kind of mercy do you bring,
If every question loses wings?
If every doubt is turned aside,
As proof I've chosen fear and pride.

When asking "why" becomes the crime,
And conscience bows to older lines,
What voice is left for those who seek,
When every answer calls them weak?

**Pre-Chorus**
If every road is closed before
The first knock upon the door...
Tell me—

**Chorus**
What remedy do we have,
If every challenge is called rebellion?
What hope remains,
If every question is denied?

When our right to ask
Is answered with our right to defy...
If every sacred tradition
Stands beyond examination...

Who will heal
What no one is allowed to touch?

**Verse 2**
I came with open hands to learn,
Not every bridge was mine to burn.
I brought no hammer for your walls,
Only echoes through your halls.

Yet every question found a name—
Temptation, blindness, guilt, or shame.
The answer came before my plea,
Long before they answered me.

**Pre-Chorus**
If every voice is weighed before
It reaches through the door...
Tell me—

**Chorus**
What remedy do we have,
If every challenge is called rebellion?
What hope remains,
If every question is denied?

When our right to ask
Is answered with our right to defy...
If every sacred tradition
Stands beyond examination...

Who will heal
What no one is allowed to touch?

**Bridge**
I do not fear being mistaken.
I fear becoming uncorrectable.

I do not fear the better question.
I fear the answer that forbids it.

If truth is living...
Let it breathe.

If mercy is real...
Let it listen.

**Choir Interlude**
*(Wordless boys' and girls' choir. Gentle, warm, spacious. The voices carry the melody without words.)*

**Final Chorus**
Let every question find its voice.
Let every answer earn its place.
Let no tradition ask for trust
It will not place in honest grace.

May mercy welcome those who seek.
May wisdom never fear the light.
May every generation leave
A little more truth than it received.

**Outro**
The door is open.

I stand there...

Not because I fear the questions—

But because I still believe

That truth need never fear them.
