[Verse 1] Look, you see me through a shadowed lens for errors down the line, Left standing in the wreckage of a past I called mine. Ten heavy years bound tight to the glass, Watching every single bridge burn down to the ash. Smoked enough smoke to fill up a street, Family couldn't stand to see me standing on my feet. [Verse 2] I’ve walked through the dark, I’ve stood in the light, Had everything I wanted, lost it all in one night. I’ve been the worst menace, been a hell of a man, Watched people keep living, watched 'em die where they stand. When everybody turns away and leaves you in the cold, I’ll stand right beside you while you break that hold. [Pre-Chorus] I lost my way, yeah, I strayed too far, Trying to find healing inside of a scar. It’s a long, lonely road, got no answers in mind, So I take it day by day, leave the shadows behind... [Chorus] If I can pull just one lost soul from the flame, Then every single tear will be worth all the pain! Don't give up now, this story isn't through, The sun breaks out when the air turns clear and new! It doesn't matter what the world tries to frame, No matter what they think, He called you by your name— Yeah, lift up your head! God dropped the charges on you! [Verse 3] Take back the wheel, man, reclaim your life, Don't let that poison run your mind with a knife. I can offer you a hand, give you strength to get through, But the very first step is believing in you. Forget the courtroom inside of their heads, Forget every word that the cynic ever said. [Verse 4] I’ve seen the good days... I’ve seen the bad... Lost every single thing that I ever had... But let 'em whisper, let 'em speak their minds, Your only job right now is to heal with time! Yeah, you know what is real! Hold on to the truth when the night gets real. [Bridge] Doesn't matter what they say... Doesn't matter what they put you through... Walk in peace, walk in truth— God dropped the charges on you. Yeah... He dropped the charges on you. [Verse 5] Now I stand here with my hands open wide, For the ones still fighting on the inside. Every broken name got a future to claim, Every scar can be more than the shame. So if you hear my voice when the dark rolls through, Hold that line, there's still more for you. [Chorus] If I can pull just one lost soul from the flame, Then every single tear will be worth all the pain! Don't give up now, this story isn't through, The sun breaks out when the air turns clear and new! It doesn't matter what the world tries to frame, No matter what they think, He called you by your name— Yeah, lift up your head! God dropped the charges on you! [Outro] Walk in peace, walk in truth— God dropped the charges on you. Yeah... He dropped the charges on you.
