Verse 1 Feelings rolling through like thunder A tornado sweeping my soul bare I’m standing in the ruins Still pretending not to care My heart is crying out in silence But no one hears the sound A tear lost in denial Where grace has not yet found Pre-Chorus I thought I had the answers Held tight to my own way But truth comes like a whisper When pride begins to fray Chorus What was thought is lost In the gusts of yearning But You still stand While this world keeps turning I reach beyond the ashes Though I’m broken, You are there What’s left of me is rising With a silent prayer Verse 2 I’ve chased down all the wrong things Looking for something to hold But everything I gripped Turned heavy, sharp, and cold Now I’m learning to be quiet To let go and just be still Even storms can be a mercy When they bend me to Your will Pre-Chorus I don’t need every answer Just the strength to trust today You’re the peace I never bargained for In the dark I used to hate Chorus What was thought is lost In the gusts of yearning But You still stand While this world keeps burning I reach beyond the silence Though I’m bruised, I find You there My voice returns in pieces As a silent prayer Bridge (stripped back – guitar and vocal only) Let the wind take what it will If You remain, then I am still You never asked for perfect Just for me to be real Final Chorus (lifted) What was thought is lost But I am not forsaken You hold the weight Of a soul still shaken And all I have to offer Is this breath I barely bear But You take it, and You hold it Like a silent prayer Outro (soft repeat) A silent prayer... You are there... A silent prayer...
