Lyrics

Hands shakin' heavy at two in the mornin'
Holdin' your little heartbeat while the whole world's stormin'
Scared I'll pass down these scars instead of strength
But I'd walk through hell for you, go any length
Prayin' I don't fail you 'fore you take your first breath
Tryna build a legacy while scared to death
If my past comes knockin', I won't let it through
I'm breakin' every chain before it ever reaches you
Flickerin' bathroom light, pacing on the floor
Two faint lines on a test, ain't the man I was before
Standing in the quiet, staring down at what is real
First time in a decade that I'm asking God to heal
Lookin' at these knuckles like "Are they clean enough?"
Can these hands protect a heart when the world gets rough?
Spent my whole life fightin' wars nobody ever knew
Now every battle that I face has a reason tied to you
Clock keeps tickin' while Oklahoma sleeps outside
Face-to-face with every place I used to run and hide
All the things I never healed come crawling through my veins
Terrified my broken pieces might become your pain
I don't wanna teach you how to hurt
I wanna teach you how to heal
Don't wanna tell you dreams are fake
I wanna show you that they're real
Every bad decision I made is screamin' in my head
But I'm gonna take those dark roads and make a map instead
Yeah, I remember that man, I know him by his face
Running through the darkness like he couldn't feel the weight
Raised around the shadows where survival came first
Watched good people lose themselves just tryna drown the hurt
Stale liquor on the counter, empty bottles by the sink
Too many nights wide awake with too much time to think
Concrete for a mattress, eviction notices on glass
Prayin' every storm I lived through would be the last
I know what poverty teaches when you're growin' up afraid
How to call a cage a home and call survival getting paid
I know what prison does to families, what collect calls cost
How a father disappears and leaves his children lost
So I'm breakin' every chain that ever wrapped around my neck
Piece by piece, rebuilding what the past left wrecked
No needles in the bathroom, no sirens at the door
No child wonderin' why their daddy isn't home anymore
You won't have to inherit my pain
Just because it's in my blood
You won't have to earn my love or wonder if it's enough
I'll turn every scar I carry into armor when you're weak
And when you can't find your voice
I'll be the strength you speak
I know the world ain't gentle, learned that firsthand
Seen love turn to leavin', seen survival change a man
But I won't hand you my excuses, won't blame what I became
I'll show you where I came from, then prove to you I changed
You won't have to read my silence just to figure out my heart
Won't make you chase affection or doubt us from the start
When you're scared, I'll sit beside you
When you're angry, I'll stay near
And if you ever start to doubt yourself
You'll find your father here
I wanna know your favorite song, wanna hear about your day
Wanna watch you chase a dream and never say it's far away
If you fall, I'll help you stand, but I won't carry every weight
I'll teach you how to face the world
Without becoming what it hates
Ain't promising perfection, 'cause I'm still a flawed man
There'll be nights I get it wrong
But I'll step up and understand
I'm not tryna be the father that I never got to see
I'm becoming something stronger—I'm becoming who you need
If heaven hears a father talkin' to the ceiling
Give me more than strength—give me wisdom for the healing
Take everything I carry that was never mine to keep
And let my child inherit all the promises I couldn't reap
I don't have all the answers, I don't know every road
But if you can hear me, little one, you will never walk alone
Every scar I carry, I'm turnin' into proof
Every road that broke me, I'm paving one for you
And if the darkness comes, I'll be the light you run to
I couldn't change my yesterday—
But I'll change what's coming for you
