[Verse 1, gentle acoustic] Sat before the blank screen, five PM Everyone went home, I stayed again Chest got tight, crept up to my throat Couldn't write a single honest note [Verse 2] First one in and last one standing tall Answered every message, took each call Built my name on never needing rest Wore the weight and called it being blessed [Chorus] I don't have to carry this alone These arms were never meant for stone Open hands, three words, begin — Would you help me? Let me in [Verse 3] Worked ten times harder than the ask Would ever cost — just wore the mask The fear said weakness looks like death But silence stole my every breath [Chorus] I don't have to carry this alone These arms were never meant for stone Open hands, three words, begin — Would you help me? Let me in [Bridge, building warmth] They didn't see me as a burden They didn't think that I was small They leaned in closer when I wavered The bravest thing was just the call [Chorus, congregational] We don't have to carry this alone These arms were never meant for stone Open hands, three words, begin — Will you help us? Let us in [Outro, stripped back] Three words... that changed everything Three words... I'm still learning
