[Verse 1 – male lead, sparse beat, eastern modal guitar lick, restrained] Flicking through the channels of a history not mine Black and white and borrowed, somebody else's line Why them and not the others, why this road and not that one Why does mercy land on some and leave the rest undone I keep rewinding footage I was never meant to hold Asking the director why the story's being told Why them, why me, why now I don't get the script somehow [Pre-Chorus – female lead, hushed reassurance, low harmonies] You're held by more than what you understand You're carried by a more than human hand Stop reading every frame like it's the end Some things don't resolve, they just transcend [Chorus – both, restrained, wide, space in the mix] Chosen in the static Somewhere in the signal Written into something Older than the channel I can't trace the logic But I feel the pull Chosen in the static And that's enough [Verse 2 – female lead, male low echo, beat stays sparse] Old footage, ancient faces, promises on a longer clock Every broken branch and grafted root still holding to the stock The mercy outlasted every debt it had to clear The kindness and the severity both present, both still here [Pre-Chorus – male this time, quieter, almost to himself] I'm held by more than what I understand I'm carried by a more than human hand I stop reading every frame like it's the end Some things don't resolve, they just transcend [Chorus – both, slightly fuller, synth swells gently] Chosen in the static Somewhere in the signal Written into something Older than the channel I can't trace the logic But I feel the pull Chosen in the static And that's enough [Bridge – male spoken low, near silence, single synth note, female breathes underneath] How unsearchable His judgments How untraceable His ways Who has known the mind behind this Who has counted out His days From Him and through Him and to Him Are all things [Outro – female hums, synth fades slowly, male one quiet line] Why them, why me, why now I don't need to know somehow
