Breaker
This one hurts
A young Christian man took a bullet for speaking his mind
Name was Charlie
Husband, daddy, voice for the kids
Lord, why'd it go down like that?
Stage lights cold as a winter rain
One breath, one prayer, then the world went strange
Crowd froze up when the thunder cracked
Truth on a mic and a life attacked
He talked about hope in a storming land
Bible in the heart and a promise in his hands
But a shadow reached from a coward's perch
Cut down a son in the middle church
And I swear if the tables turned the other way
Y'all know there'd be fires in the streets today
But here we stand with candles and a folded flag
Begging God for mercy on the road we drag
How dare they steal the breath from a faithful man?
How dare they stain the grass where his boots once stand?
They call us evil, point at our cross
Then pull that trigger and reckon no cost
If it were theirs, there'd be sirens and flames
But we're praying for truth while we whisper his name
Charlie, we ain't letting go your hand
Erica holding on the picture frame
Two little hearts asking who's to blame
America's weeping like a mourning dove
When a voice falls silent that was speaking love
He stirred up halls where the lions roar
Told young souls they were made for more
Now we kneel in the quiet where the echoes ring
And promise to carry what he came to bring
If the shoe was flipped you'd hear a different cry
We'll choose the truth and we won't reply
With fire for fire, stone for stone
We'll stand for justice and we won't back down
How dare they steal the breath from a faithful man?
How dare they stain the grass where his boots once stand?
They call us evil, point at our cross
Then pull that trigger and reckon no cost
If it were theirs, there'd be sirens and flames
But we're praying for truth while we whisper his name
