Lazy, walking through the rain Feels like the whole world is whispering my name

Pressures building, trying to explain This heavy weather, this spiritual pain

Feels like I'm walking through the fire all alone Every single step, feels like I'm far from home

They say right before the blessing comes the hardest test He reveals the hearts of men, puts your soul to rest

From all the fake embraces and the words they never meant Cause some people gotta go before the gifts are sent

Smiles turn to shadows, handshakes turn to ice Suddenly saw the truth behind their eyes

Friends who thought we're solid, just a thin disguise Cutting all the dead weight, a painful sacrifice

Had to watch them walk away, and it cut me deep But some promises, you just can't keep

They say right before the blessing comes the hardest test He reveals the hearts of men, puts your soul to rest

From all the fake embraces and the words they never meant Cause some people gotta go before the gifts are sent

And all the clarity, it's a lonely kind of light But now I see the path ahead, shining ever so bright

I understand the reason for the struggle and the fight To make me strong enough to step into the light

They say right before the blessing comes the hardest test He reveals the hearts of men, puts your soul to rest

From all the fake embraces and the words they never meant Cause some people gotta go before the gifts are sent

Before the gifts are sent, yeah Gotta let them go, so you can grow Right before the blessing

The hardest test, he'd know, yeah he'd know You gotta clear the way for a brighter day, oh yeah

Letting go of the pain, washing it all away Like the rain, it's a fuller blessed day

Just before the blessing

Thanks for watching
