Is That the Man I'm Supposed to Be?

Lyrics

Title: “Frequency of Heaven (Can You Hear Me?)” [Intro — muffled cassette recording, radio static, distant organ] Shhhhhhh… krrrr… “Testing… one… two…” “If there’s a frequency between here and Heaven…” “I wonder if the man I’m becoming can hear the man I am.” [Verse 1 — intimate melodic rap] I’ve been turning through the dial, tryna find another me, Past the voices of the world and the things I used to be. Got a pocket full of memories, a heart full of scars, Sending prayers through the static, somewhere past the stars. Every loss became a lesson, every tear became a sign, Every road I thought was broken was a part of His design. And I hear somebody calling through the noise I used to fear, Sounding just a little like me, saying, “Son, you’re almost here.” [Chorus — warm, soulful gospel melody] Can you hear me through the frequency? Is that the man that I’m supposed to be? Through the static, through the pain, Through the sunshine and the rain. I’ve been searching for a voice so clear, Getting closer every passing year. And the closer I get to You, The more I recognize me too. [Bridge — beat drops out, clear heavenly voice] Earthly Self: “Who are you?” Heavenly Self: “I’m who you were becoming.” Earthly Self: “Why couldn’t I hear you before?” Heavenly Self: “Because you were listening to everything but Him.” [Outro — gospel choir rises, radio static disappears] “I thought I was searching for Heaven…” “But Christ was preparing me for home.” Click. Silence.
