Rebel Son

[Intro – soft guitar, distant reverb] I walked a road I wasn’t meant to take… Still You never turned away… ⸻ [Verse 1] Dust on my hands, and a fire in my chest, I ran from grace like I knew best, Every wrong turn felt like truth back then, Just a lost boy playin’ tough with sin. I broke good things I didn’t understand, Tried to build a life with a shaking hand, But every night when the silence came— I still heard You call my name… ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – rising tension] Yeah I fought, yeah I bled, yeah I cursed Your sky, Still You stayed when I said goodbye— ⸻ [Chorus – full band, emotional punch] I’m a rebel son, but I’m still Yours, Through my walking away and slamming doors, Every scar got Your mercy on— Even when I went dead wrong. I ran so far, couldn’t outrun truth, Still found grace in my wasted youth, I ain’t clean, but I’ve been undone— By a love that won’t let go… Of a rebel son. ⸻ [Verse 2 – more grit] I wore my pride like a crown of thorns, Laughed at faith, yeah I played it worn, Took Your name and I dragged it through— Every lie that I made feel true. But there You were in the wreckage still, In the quiet moments I couldn’t kill, Like a voice cut through my doubt and shame— Sayin’ “Child, you ain’t too far gone to change.” ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – heavier] Yeah I burned, yeah I fell, yeah I lost my way, Still You loved me anyway— ⸻ [Chorus – bigger, layered vocals] I’m a rebel son, but I’m still Yours, Through my walking away and slamming doors, Every scar got Your mercy on— Even when I went dead wrong. I ran so far, couldn’t outrun truth, Still found grace in my wasted youth, I ain’t clean, but I’ve been undone— By a love that won’t let go… Of a rebel son. ⸻ [Bridge – stripped, almost spoken, Eddie Vedder vibe] I was never lost… just runnin’ blind, Tryin’ to outrun what was always mine, You didn’t chase—You just stayed… Right there… through the mess I made… ⸻ [Breakdown – ambient, Smashing Pumpkins texture] (Ohhh… still Yours…) (Ohhh… still Yours…) ⸻ [Final Chorus – biggest hit] I’m a rebel son, but I’m still Yours, Through the broken nights and the closing doors, Every scar got Your mercy on— Every right I got dead wrong. I ran so far, couldn’t outrun truth, Still found grace in my wasted youth, I ain’t clean, but I’ve been undone— By a love that won’t let go… ⸻ [Outro – fading, echoing] Yeah I’m still Yours… Just a rebel son…
