quietly broken

Lyrics

Yeah.
For everyone fighting that hidden war.
Every single soul stuck in the quiet.
We look to the throne.
Listen.

(Verse 1)

Look at the crowd but notice the spaces in between
The heaviest battles are the ones that stay unseen
A brother in his car, gripping tight on the wheel
Fighting off a shadow that is making him kneel
He looks up at the sky, asking when it’s gonna end
Too tired to explain it to a cousin or a friend
And down the same block, a sister’s staring at the wall
Praying for the strength just to answer a call
The weight of the depression is a universal chain
It doesn't care about your status or your government name
An army of survivors putting masks on their face
Just to make it through the day in a cynical place
They’re weeping in the dark where nobody can see
Locked inside a prison without any key
But the cry from the bedroom is a corporate sound
Reaching all the way from the cold valley ground.

(Chorus)

God our Father, can You hear everyone?
Send down the light and the grace of the Son
Jesus Christ, my King, we are broken and bruised
Feeling like a vessel that is battered and used
We are suffering in silence but we’re calling Your name
Take away the isolation, break through the shame
You’re the only rock when the heavy winds blow
The only true comfort that our spirits can know.

(Verse 2)

The clock hits midnight and the static is loud
The thoughts start to circle like a permanent cloud
A young student crying with the books on the floor
Wondering if she can even take it anymore
But look at how the faith starts to rise in the room
When the voice of the King breaks the grip of the gloom
He knows the isolation because He walked it alone
He carries every burden to the steps of the throne
The scars on His hands mean the battle is won
For every single daughter, for every single son
You don't gotta fight it by yourself in the dark
He’s fixing every fracture and He’s leaving a mark
So to everyone kneeling on a cold kitchen floor
Keep pounding on the wood of the heavenly door.

(Outro)
(The piano music fades out slowly into silence)

Yeah.
For everyone out there.
You are not alone in the quiet.
God our Father is right beside you.
Jesus Christ is King.
Hold onto the faith.
Amen.
