[Intro, Cinematic Strings, Distant Church Bells] (Yeah... this my story) (Real ones gon' feel this) [Verse 1] I was thirteen with a fist full of pride Eyes cold, heart numb, I was dead inside Bottles in my backpack, blaze in my hand Middle finger to the law, I ain’t care where I stand Skipping out school, chasing shadows at night Had a taste for the dark, never looked for the light Police on my neck, mama cried on the couch But I was out in the streets, too deep to get out Chasin’ thrills, high pills, sex and lies Thought I was a king, but I was blind in disguise Lust for the world, I was feeding the beast Thought I was free, but the chains never ceased [Chorus, Gospel Choir, Orchestral Rise] (I was lost, I was gone, down a road made of pain) (Runnin’ wild through the fire, caught in chains, in the rain) (But You saw through the smoke, reached Your hand through my night) (You were callin’ my name... pullin’ me into the light) [Verse 2] Fast life turned faster to death on my breath Swerved off the road, felt the kiss of near death Glass in my skin, blood all in my teeth Saw my whole life flash, was a moment of grief Cops at the door, charges on deck Deals in the alley, with a gun to my neck I lost good friends, saw ‘em laid in the dirt Girls cried in my arms, but it all still hurt Dark path, no map, soul full of guilt I was drowning in the pain that I’d chosen to build I was Godless, reckless, numb to the cries Wore a mask on my face, but I was dying inside [Bridge, Slow Build, Choir Echoes] (Why am I still here? Why am I alive?) (Whispers in the silence, "You were made to survive") (A voice in the flames, said, "Son, come home") (So I dropped my pride and fell at the throne) [Chorus, Gospel Choir Stronger] (I was lost, I was gone, down a road made of pain) (Runnin’ wild through the fire, caught in chains, in the rain) (But You saw through the smoke, reached Your hand through my night) (You were callin’ my name... pullin’ me into the light) [Verse 3] Now I stand, not a man, but a servant of grace All my sins laid down at the cross, erased From ashes to hope, I was dead, now I live Not for flesh, not for self — all to God I give He broke my chains, gave breath to my lungs Was a rebel, now I rise with the sound of His drums Eyes to the sky, hands gripped to the plow I’m a new creation, no lookin’ back now Repented, surrendered, gave Him my soul Jesus my Lord, now He’s takin' control Every scar, every fall, He used for His plan Now I preach what I lived — I was saved by His hand [Outro, Choir Fading, Piano and Strings] (You pulled me from the fire...) (...into the light...) (Hallelujah...) (I'm Yours for life...)
