Remember This

remember this

remember this feeling, remember the nights
you were the only one holding the light
crying in silence, praying for rest
carrying chaos inside of your chest

the bills, the yells, the calls you’d ignore
the whispers that haunt you, the slam of the door
the roots that keep shifting, the boots pressing down
just fighting to breathe while you’re starting to drown

but here you stand, you made it through--
when no one else believed in you.

remember when god was the only one listening
the only one whispering, steady and true
keeping the water out, calm in the storm
holding the peace as the world raged on

the reeling, the rolling turns into rocking
the silence inside—he never stopped talking

scars from the battle, they tell what you’ve seen
but scars can be stories of where you have been
broken but standing, your soul still survives
proof of the fire that kept you alive

and here you stand, the living proof
that storms can’t steal the heart from you

remember when god was the only one listening
the only one whispering, steady and true
keeping the water out, calm in the storm
holding the peace as the world raged on

the reeling, the rolling turns into rocking
the silence inside—he never stopped talking

and when the night feels colder
when the weight feels too much to bear
you’ll find the same voice waiting
you’ll hear him still right there

remember when god was the only one listening
the only one whispering, steady and true
the storm may be raging, but hope’s breaking through
and every whisper still carries you
