One Second

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Davud was driving through the night, Everything felt normal, everything felt right. Then in one second, the world turned cold, A moment he never wanted to hold. Broken glass, a flashing light, Trying to understand if he would be alright. He closed his eyes and heard the sound, And wondered if he’d make it out. [Pre-Chorus] Nobody knows what happens in your mind, When you come that close to losing your life. You count the breaths, you search the dark, You feel the fear still beating in your heart. [Chorus] One second, everything can change, One second, nothing feels the same. You wake up with the silence ringing, With every fragile breath still singing. One second, then you’re holding on, Learning how to face another dawn. Davud, you’re here, you made it through— The world came back because of you. [Verse 2] The road kept running past the scene, But he was caught between what was and what had been. A stranger asked him, “Can you stand?” He felt the shaking in his hands. The days moved on, but sleep stayed far, Every sudden brake became that car. Still, he began to name the things That pulled him back from broken dreams. [Pre-Chorus] Nobody sees the war you leave behind, Or how one instant keeps returning in your mind. But through the fear, through every scar, You find the person you still are. [Chorus] One second, everything can change, One second, nothing feels the same. You wake up with the silence ringing, With every fragile breath still singing. One second, then you’re holding on, Learning how to face another dawn. Davud, you’re here, you made it through— The world came back because of you. [Bridge] If the night comes back again, If the memory won’t let you rest, Put your feet against the floor, Feel the room, breathe once more. You are more than what went wrong, More than fear you carried on. The road was cruel, the hour was fast, But that one second did not last. [Final Chorus] One second, everything can change, One second, but you’re not the same. You found a pulse beneath the panic, Found a way to make the damage Turn to courage, turn to truth, Turn to all the days still waiting for you. Davud, you’re here, you made it through— The world came back because of you. [Outro] One second passed, And you remained. One second passed, You rose again.
