[Verse 1] I’ve been taught to hold it in, keep a face that never shakes, To measure every word I say, hide the cracks my heart still makes. They call it strength when you don’t cry, But I’ve learned real power lifts its eyes. But my Anchor’s not philosophy, It’s a Person who bled and set me free. [Pre-Chorus] So when they ask how I don’t break, I’ll say it’s peace no man can fake. [Chorus] I’m not stoic, I’m just His rhetoric, His Word rewrote what I couldn’t fix. When my mind says quit, His promise sticks — My heart repeats what Heaven scripts. I’m not stoic… I’m just His rhetoric. [Verse 2 (Build)] I’ve been taught to hold it in, keep a face that never shakes, To measure every word I say, hide the cracks my heart still makes. They call it strength when you don’t cry, But I’ve learned real power lifts its eyes. But my Anchor’s not philosophy, It’s a Person who bled and set me free. [Pre-Chorus] So when they ask how I don’t break, I’ll say it’s peace no man can fake. [Chorus] I’m not stoic, I’m just His rhetoric, His Word rewrote what I couldn’t fix. When my mind says quit, His promise sticks — My heart repeats what Heaven scripts. I’m not stoic… I’m just His rhetoric. [Bridge] I’m calm, but I’m not cold — It’s Holy Fire that keeps this soul. Still waters don’t come from me, They flow from Christ’s authority. [Final Chorus (Build)] I’m not stoic, I’m just His rhetoric, His Word rewrote what I couldn’t fix. When my mind says quit, His promise sticks — My heart repeats what Heaven scripts. I’m not stoic, I’m just His rhetoric, His Word rewrote what I couldn’t fix. When my mind says quit, His promise sticks — My heart repeats what Heaven scripts. I’m not stoic… I’m just His rhetoric. [Coda] I’m not stoic, I’m His rhetoric. I’m not stoic, I’m His rhetoric.
