[INTRO — distant piano, reversed breath] If it’s my time… Please— may I dine with the divine? [VERSE 1 — intimate, nearly spoken] I never asked for a divide, only to understand both sides— why mercy sometimes wears a wound, why morning needs the dying moon. I walked the wire between the truths, found pieces of myself in you. If darkness taught my eyes to see, does heaven save a place for me? [PRE-CHORUS — heartbeat building] I never needed streets of gold, just somewhere I could set this soul— somewhere nothing has to hide, and every broken piece survives. [CHORUS — full melodic release] So if it be my time— do I have the right to hold the delight, to dine with the divine? Could I sit beside every question of my life and finally understand why love and loss collide? If it’s my time— if I’ve reached the other side— leave one chair beneath the light… Let me dine with the divine. [POST-CHORUS — female apparition vocal] (Dine with the divine…) (No more sides…) (Only light…) [VERSE 2 — beat enters, restrained rap cadence] I never asked to wear the crown, I only asked what pulled us down. Why every truth became a blade, why innocence was taught to fade. I’ve tasted heaven inside hell, heard sacred voices in the cells we built from everything we feared— perhaps the divine was always here. Maybe every stranger’s face, every failure, every grace, every hand that held the line was a fragment of the divine. [PRE-CHORUS — rising strings] I don’t need angels knowing me, or constellations bowing at my feet. Just tell me there’s a place beyond where every opposition becomes one. [CHORUS — larger] So if it be my time— do I have the right to hold the delight, to dine with the divine? Could I sit beside every shadow, every light and finally understand why both were living in my eyes? If it’s my time— if I’ve reached the other side— leave one chair beneath the light… Let me dine with the divine. [BRIDGE — all instruments fall away] But if it isn’t time… If there’s another mile, another seed beneath the soil, another reason I should try— Then bring the table here. Let heaven meet me where I am. Let the sacred take my shaking hands. Let me taste the peace I couldn’t find— and dine with the divine while I’m still alive. [DROP — fractured vocal stutter] Di-di-dine— with the— di-di-divine— Both sides… one light… this life… tonight. [FINAL CHORUS — explosive duet] If it isn’t yet my time, I still have the right to hold the delight, to dine with the divine. I can sit beside every shadow, every light— I don’t have to cross the veil to know the sacred is alive. This is my time— not to vanish, but to rise. Set the table in my heart… I’ll dine with the divine. [OUTRO — lone piano and breathing] I never asked for a divide… I only wanted to understand both sides. And somewhere in between them— I found life.
