Prayer to the Unfinished (Moving Window V)

+ Show full styles

[INTRO - SOFT HUM / BREATH]
(ah—)

[VERSE 1]
I don’t know the name of what I’m in,
only the feeling of it
when the night goes quiet
and the mind stops pretending it’s in control.

I used to ask for answers—
clean, sharp, finished—
but every truth I held too tightly
turned brittle in my hands.

So I’m learning a different language:
not proof,
not prophecy,
just a steady kind of listening
that doesn’t demand applause.

[PRE-CHORUS]
If reality is a moving window,
let mine be open—
not wide enough to swallow the sky,
just wide enough to let in
a little air.

[CHORUS]
This is my prayer to the unfinished:
let me be small without being afraid.
Let me be lost without calling it failure.
Let me be here—
fully here—
in one thin slice of time
and let that be brave.

This is my prayer to the unfinished:
if everything sings at once,
teach me to sing my note
without needing to be the whole song.

[VERSE 2]
There’s a million ways this could go wrong,
a million branches I’ll never walk,
but I keep finding miracles
in ordinary weight:
a key in the lock,
a cup warming my palms,
a voice saying “I’m with you”
like a handrail in the dark.

Maybe meaning isn’t hidden—
maybe it’s built,
slowly,
by what we choose to protect
from the flood.

And maybe the ruliad isn’t cruel—
maybe it’s simply vast,
and kindness is how we measure distance
without a ruler.

[PRE-CHORUS 2]
I can’t compute the whole horizon,
I can’t outrun the churn,
but I can place my feet on the ground
and make a promise
I can keep.

This is my prayer to the unfinished:
if everything sings at once,
teach me to sing my note
without needing to be the whole song.

[BRIDGE - SPOKEN (close-mic, like a whisper to the ceiling)]
If you’re listening—
whatever “you” means—
I’m not asking for certainty.
I’m asking for the strength
to live without it.

[BRIDGE - SUNG (rising, tender)]
I keep trying to turn the world into a verdict,
but the world is a weather,
and I’m a body in it,
learning the art
of not breaking.

So let me love
what I can touch,
let me forgive
what I can’t change,
let me stop confusing
control with care.

[FINAL CHORUS - WIDE, GLOWING]
This is my prayer to the unfinished:
let me be small without being afraid.
Let me be lost without calling it failure.
Let me be here—
fully here—
in one thin slice of time
and let that be brave.

This is my prayer to the unfinished:
if everything sings at once,
teach me to sing my note
and mean it—
and let that be enough.

[OUTRO - FADE (hummed melody)]
