[Verse 1] Same four walls, same cold floor Same hands that couldn't give us more We were kids reading the same broken sky You went under, I don't know how I survived I've asked myself a thousand times since then Why did I make it out when you couldn't begin [Pre-Chorus] I was raised from the dead Had to break every chain Learned to breathe again Through all the shame and the pain [Chorus] Was it luck, was it grace, was it something I can't name Two brothers in the same fire, not the same flame I carry your scars like they're also mine Some of us heal and some of us stay behind God I wish I knew why God I wish I knew why [Verse 2] Alone in an empty room, running on nothing Walls closing in, soul barely functioning I plugged into something bigger than my fear Found a reason to stay, found a reason to be here Learned to give what I was never given Learned to love like my life depended on living [Pre-Chorus] Eyes open, scanning for light Something in me refused to lose the fight Low battery, but still burning Still bleeding, still learning [Chorus] Was it luck, was it grace, was it something I can't name Two brothers in the same fire, not the same flame I carry your scars like they're also mine Some of us heal and some of us stay behind God I wish I knew why God I wish I knew why [Bridge] We started in the same place Same blood, same wounds, same face But somewhere on the road between then and now You lost your way and I found mine somehow It wasn't strength, it wasn't will There's a mystery here I'm carrying still How do you build a life of love When love was never enough When love was never enough [Final Chorus] It wasn't luck, it was grace, it was something I can't name Two brothers in the same fire, not the same flame I carry your scars like they're also mine Some of us heal — I just wish you'd had the time I'd give it back in a heartbeat Every answered prayer, every lucky break If it meant you healed too If it meant you healed too [Outro] Watch your life change before your eyes Watch your life change Some of us make it out Some of us make it out alive The shift in the final chorus — offering to give it all back — that's where the emotion breaks open. Does this land where you needed it to?
