[Verse 1] Smoke on the skyline, the towers are down, Used to be a city, now it's ash on the ground, Walking through the rubble with my boots full of dust, Tryna find something left that I still can trust. Radio's static, the signal is dead, Half the words I'm hearing are just voices in my head, Lost my brother in the winter of the third collapse, Buried him in silence โ never got to ask. Why the good ones go first, why the world turned cold, Why the ones who prayed hard were the first to fold โ But I still got my knees and I still got my breath, And even in the ruins, I ain't choosing death. [Chorus] I still look up through the smoke and the grey, When everything is burning, still I pray, You never left โ I know You're in the silence too, God, I still look up โ I still look to You. World fell apart, but my faith didn't break, Every fallen wall was something You could remake, Through every dark age, through every war and flood โ I still look up and I still feel Your love. [Verse 2] Found a group of survivors near the old church walls, Cracked stained glass still standing after all the falls, Some of 'em lost hope, said God went quiet years ago, Said if He was real, He would've stopped the vertigo. I felt that โ Lord, I really felt that pain, Had a season where I cursed Him in the acid rain, But the more I searched the wreckage for a reason why, The more I felt Him heavy in the broken sky. Man was always free to choose the path of war, We built the weapons, we're the ones who kept the score, But grace ain't dead just 'cause the ground is scorched and bare โ I still catch His mercy floating in the air. [Chorus] I still look up through the smoke and the grey, When everything is burning, still I pray, You never left โ I know You're in the silence too, God, I still look up โ I still look to You. World fell apart, but my faith didn't break, Every fallen wall was something You could remake, Through every dark age, through every war and flood โ I still look up and I still feel Your love. [Bridge] There was a morning the clouds finally broke, Just a thread of blue โ felt like God spoke, Said, "I never left the sky โ you just stopped looking up, I'm the reason you're still standing โ you just called it luck." So I wept right there on the concrete and the stone, Thanking God I never had to do this alone, Empires crumble, mountains fall into the sea โ But His love is the one thing that remains in me. [Verse 3] Now I lead the survivors like a light through the dark, Carvin' words of scripture in the bark of dead bark, Building something new up from the soil and the soot, Every seed we plant is where a new world's put. Kids are being born again to this broken land, They don't know the before โ but they'll understand, That every generation walks through fire too, And the answer's always been to look above the ruins. We the ones who stayed, we the remnant that remained, And the thing that kept us breathing was the Name we claimed, So when they ask me how we made it through the end โ I say we never stopped looking up, and we'd do it again. [Chorus (Final)] I still look up through the smoke and the grey, When everything is burning, still I pray, You never left โ I know You're in the silence too, God, I still look up โ I still look to You. World fell apart, but my faith didn't break, Every fallen wall was something You could remake, Through every dark age, through every war and flood โ I still look up and I still feel Your love. [Outro] I still look upโฆ (still look up) Through the smokeโฆ (through the smoke) God, You never let go โ even when the whole world broke, I still look upโฆ I still look upโฆ We still look up.
