Lyrics
I was sitting there minding my own business
Trying to work, scrolling through my WhatsApp list
Didn't care, or at least that's what I said
But they say idle hands invite the mess
Devil loves an empty head
I swear I was busy, but my mind took flight
Drifting through the stars, yet nothing in sight
Then an old memory came back again
When I was too good for my own good, my friend
I gave too much for somebody else's smile
Carried their weight every single mile
Forgot that even strong men bend
Forgot I also needed care in the end
The payback hit me hard and cold
Made me question the credo I was told
What do you get for being kind
Sometimes scars... and a broken mind
I was despised for caring too deep
For sowing seeds I didn't reap
Then that voice came low like a midnight hymn
Sayin', "Boy, don't be too righteous." See the grim
Quoted words but twisted the truth
Tryna poison my pain, steal my youth
But I heard Heaven call me by name
Said, Peace ain't found in playin' the blame
So I laid it down, every hurt, every sin
Yeah, I learned to leave it to Him
That fire rose up in my chest
But it wasn't holy, it wasn't blessed
It spit its smoke at my better side
Tried to make my angel run and hide
Then wisdom came from above
Not the kind that breaks, the kind that loves
Said don't argue with crooked truth
Answer pain with something new
"Blessed are the ones who choose the peace
They walk like sons, they walk like heirs"
Then He asked me soft but clear
"Do you remember whose child you are?"
What if I told you the wrong you cried
Was already paid on the other side
Justice moved before you knew
God was already working through
So I leave it to Him, the Father of all
The One who stands when I fall
He turns the dark into something good
