[Intro – Spoken softly, prayerful tone] Lord… I’m trying. I don’t even have the words sometimes… But You know my heart. Teach me how to heal. ⸻ [Verse 1] I want to heal… but I don’t know how, Keep making silent promises, breaking each vow. I say I’ll forgive, then the memory returns, Like fire through veins that still secretly burns. I wanna breathe without shaking inside, To cry without guilt, to not always hide. But trauma clings like second skin, A war I fight, but never win. ⸻ [Chorus – Choir & Lead] 🎶 Lord, I’m trying to heal (trying to heal) Take these wounds, take this pain that I feel (that I feel) You said joy comes in the morning light — So hold me through this endless night. I’m learning to let go, learning to be still, Teach me, Lord… teach me how to heal. 🎶 ⸻ [Verse 2] I smile in crowds, but it ain’t real, It’s armor I wear, just so I feel. ‘Cause peace don’t live in homes like mine, It tiptoes past the warning sign. I wanna talk, but words won’t land, They melt in my throat like grains of sand. I open my mouth — but silence wins, And the storm just howls beneath my skin. ⸻ [Chorus – Full Choir] 🎶 Lord, I’m trying to heal (trying to heal) Take these wounds, take this pain that I feel (that I feel) You said joy comes in the morning light — So hold me through this endless night. I’m learning to let go, learning to be still, Teach me, Lord… teach me how to heal. 🎶 ⸻ [Bridge – Lead vocal, ad-libs soaring] Oh, I’ve watched love turn into pain (yeah) I’ve seen “I love you” echo in vain (mmm) But You, Lord, never change — You wash my shame, You break my chains. When I’m too weak to take one step, Your grace reminds me I’m not left. You say, “My child, I’m right here still,” And in that whisper… I start to heal. ⸻ [Verse 3 – Reflective tone] The child in me still hides her face, Still feels like she’s out of place. Still wonders why no one came, Why her cries were met with shame. I pray some nights, not for success, But just to feel a little less. Just to let the past release, Just to find one ounce of peace. ⸻ [Chorus – Repeat, with modulation and choir build] 🎶 Lord, I’m trying to heal (trying to heal) Take these wounds, take this pain that I feel (that I feel) You said joy comes in the morning light — So hold me through this endless night. I’m learning to let go, learning to be still, Teach me, Lord… teach me how to heal. 🎶 ⸻ [Final Bridge – Breakdown, choir humming softly] People say healing takes time, it’s a path… But what if the road keeps doubling back? What if the mirror always shows A girl too tired to let it go? [Outro – Spoken & sung softly] I want to heal — not just survive, Not just exist, but feel alive. We’re walking scars, stitched with grace, Still searching for that sacred place. Maybe healing ain’t a race or vow… Maybe it starts with, “Lord… I don’t know how.” 🎶 (Fade out with choir humming “I want to heal…”)
