A Man Who Can Say When He’s Wrong

Raw, blues-influenced gospel, A vulnerable male solo grows into an uplifting chorus

A MAN WHO CAN SAY I WAS WRONG

Inspired by Peter — Luke 22 and John 21

Verse 1

He said he’d never leave Him,
Said he’d stand through every storm.
He believed the words he promised
Till the night fear took their form.

Three times he stood in darkness,
Three times he turned away.
And the man who thought he’d never fall
Had nothing left to say.

Pre-Chorus

There’s a silence after failure
When there’s nowhere left to hide.
When the truth of what you’ve chosen
Is the truth you face inside.

Chorus

I’m a man who can say I was wrong,
I don’t need to hide behind my pride.
I can face the things I’ve broken,
I can own the tears I’ve cried.

I can’t change what happened yesterday,
Can’t take back every word.
But I can choose to live tomorrow
By the lessons I have learned.

I’m a man who can say I was wrong,
And still believe that I can grow.
A second chance is not an excuse,
It’s a better way to go.

Verse 2 — Today

There’s a father seeking pardon
For the years he wasn’t there.
There’s a husband learning listening
Is another way to care.

There’s a son who lost his temper,
Said some things he can’t erase.
And a friend who broke a promise,
Now afraid to show his face.

Pre-Chorus

An apology isn’t healing
If the pattern stays the same.
It’s the work that follows after
That gives meaning to the change.

Bridge

Peter heard a question by the water,
“Do you love me?” once again.
And the man who knew his weakness
Found a calling waiting then.

Let me face my imperfections,
Let me learn to make amends.
Let my actions show the difference
When apologies must end.

And if trust is slow returning,
I will honor what you need.
True repentance isn’t asking
You to heal at my own speed.

Final Chorus

I’m a man who can say I was wrong,
I can stand without pretending.
I can own the hurt I’ve caused,
And commit myself to mending.

I am more than my mistakes,
But they’re still my responsibility.
Let the man I am becoming
Be the change you get to see.

Outro

Three times he denied.
Three times he was asked about love.

Sometimes redemption begins
When pride finally gives way to truth.
