Shepherd's pup

Testo

[Verse 1] I was young with open eyes, Learning love beneath the light, Family voices filled the room, I never knew how fast they’d move. I watched the faces fade away, Watched the warmth turn cold and gray, And the man I knew became Someone I would learn to fear by name. [Pre-Chorus] I learned to flinch before a hand, Learned to cry where no one understands, But somewhere underneath the pain, I still heard You call my name. [Chorus] When darkness looks me in the eyes, I turn away and look toward the light. My heart is bruised, my faith still stands, Even when I don’t understand. Carry me through every storm, Back to the place that feels like home. I hear the wolves beyond the night, Calling me toward Your light. [Verse 2] I learned to speak without a voice, Songs became my safest choice, Every word I tried to say Got twisted up and pushed away. They saw anger, missed the fear, Heard the shouting, missed the tears, I wasn’t asking to be fixed, I just needed someone there through it. [Pre-Chorus] I test the hands that reach for me, Because kindness once came painfully, But You don’t force me to explain, You stay beside me through the rain. [Chorus] When darkness looks me in the eyes, I turn away and look toward the light. My heart is bruised, my faith still stands, Even when I don’t understand. Carry me through every storm, Back to the place that feels like home. I hear the wolves beyond the night, Calling me toward Your light. [Bridge] I see myself, a frightened pup, Running hard but looking up, Then You reach down through the fear, And suddenly the road is clear. Fear turns slowly into awe, I stop fighting what I saw, You hold me close, the noise grows still, And lead me higher by Your will. [Final Chorus] When darkness looks me in the eyes, I know it doesn’t own my life. My heart still aches, but I know Your voice, And through the pain I make my choice. Carry me through every storm, Past every place that never felt like home. Until I hear my pack beyond the light, And finally know I’ll be alright. [Outro] If heaven feels like coming home, Then keep me close when I feel alone. A wolf still walking through the night, Following You toward the light.
