Concrete Communion
[Intro] Yeah… You ever pray in places God ain’t supposed to hear you? Ain’t no cathedral out here… just concrete and survival. [Verse 1] Corner light flickers like a tired confession Homeless preacher speaking truth through imperfection Bible in a bag, pages weather-stained and torn Said grace don’t care where a man get born Kids cut through traffic like they chasing tomorrow Dodging broken promises, learning how to borrow Hope from the cracks where the sidewalk bleeds Where every whispered prayer gets planted like seeds Graffiti on the wall reads Psalms in disguise Written in marker but it still survives The city don’t sleep, it just shifts its pain Let the storm baptize every soul in the rain [Chorus] Raise your hands in the alley where the sirens pray Concrete communion till the night turns gray No stained glass, just the glow of streetlight truth Every scar on the block got a story for proof And we break bread where the broken stay Concrete communion in the harshest way Yeah, we break bread where the broken stay Till the silence learns what the lost won’t say [Verse 2] Corner store sermons in the hum of the fridge Where the truth and survival walk the same bridge Old man preaching to the smoke in his breath Said living out here is a slow dance with death But even in decay there’s a rhythm that holds Like gold in the rust and fire in the cold Every handshake sacred, every nod a vow You don’t need a church when you’re praying right now We ain’t saints, but we still believe In the kind of grace that the streets can’t leave So we gather where the broken light bends And call it holy every time the night ends [Bridge] If heaven’s a place… Then it’s learned to walk these streets Barefoot… Through shattered glass and heartbeat grief [Final Chorus] Raise your hands in the alley where the sirens pray Concrete communion till the night turns gray No stained glass, just the glow of streetlight truth Every scar on the block got a story for proof And we break bread where the broken stay Concrete communion in the harshest way Yeah, we break bread where the broken stay Till the silence learns what the lost won’t say [Outro] Yeah… Concrete communion… Ain’t no walls… just survival and devotion…
