(Track 2: The Blueprint & The Blindfold) (Soft Hammond organ chord swells slowly over the faint sound of an analog clock ticking) (Intro / Spoken Word) (Exhaling slowly) I say I trust the step... I just wish I could see the whole staircase once in a while. Amen means "so be it," right? So why do I keep asking when? I got the faith to jump. I just keep asking where the ground is. (Verse 1) (A deep, unhurried 808 kick drum and warm Fender Rhodes keys slide into a smooth groove) I got the spirit of a conqueror, but the patience of a man Tryna trace the master plan on the palm of my hand. They say "be still and know," but stillness feels like lag, When you got bills on the counter and a dream in the bag. I don't lack the belief—I got oil in my lamp, I done stood in the fire, I done walked through the damp. It ain't a question of if God is gonna pull through, It’s the when and the how that got me pacing the room. I want the dates, the times, the precise execution, Instead I get a quiet spirit and an internal solution. It’s hard to tell your ego to sit in the back, When you used to driving solo down a one-way track. I’m holding the vision, but I’m fighting the clock, Tryna build a whole kingdom while I’m standing on a rock. (Chorus / Hook) (Layered, soulful backing vocals swell behind the lead) Walking by faith with my eyes wide open, Holding the vision while the timeline's broken. I know the destination's real, I know the promise is true— But Lord, I’m human in the middle of the how and the who. I got the faith to take the leap off the ledge, Just give me a glimpse of where the landing field is at. Living on grace, but praying for a sign— Trusting Your clock, but fighting with mine. (Verse 2) (Bassline drops low; electric guitar picking enters with heavy reverb) So here I stand in the gap between the vision and the vessel, Learning that the why ain't a fight I gotta wrestle. If I knew every turn, I’d try to alter the route, Try to bypass the trial, try to engineer out The very lessons in the dark that gave the roots room to grow— Guess the blessing in the blindness is I don't gotta know. The how ain't my business; the what is just duty. The when is right on time, even when it looks heavy. I’m dropping the blueprint. Surrendering the keys. Taking off the blindfold while I’m down on my knees. Faith ain't needing to see what the tomorrow brings— It’s just stepping in the dark till you feel your own wings. (Chorus / Hook) Walking by faith with my eyes wide open, Holding the vision while the timeline's broken. I know the destination's real, I know the promise is true— But Lord, I’m human in the middle of the how and the who. I got the faith to take the leap off the ledge, Just give me a glimpse of where the landing field is at. Living on grace, but praying for a sign— Trusting Your clock, but fighting with mine. (Outro) (Beat drops to just the acoustic guitar strum and Hammond organ) No more asking when. No more asking how. No more asking why. Just right here... right now. Faith on solid ground.
