[Intro Spoken] 
I came close to giving up today 
then i saw that girls smile 
heard her laugh and heard the voice of god

[Chorus]
I see God’s work in the fire of the sunrise,
In my kids’ bright eyes, where His love never dies.
In the curves of the backroad, in my wife’s tender love,
His grace all around, sent from heaven above.
I see God’s work, in the simple and true,
Country soul burnin’, His light pullin’ me through.

[Verse 1]
Woke up to the sunrise, paintin’ fire ‘cross the sky,
God’s hand in the colors, liftin’ my spirit high.
My kids runnin’ wild, laughter sparklin’ like streams,
See His love in their eyes, chasin’ innocent dreams.
Backroads twist and turn, like the path of my life,
Every curve holds His grace, like the arms of my wife.
Small-town preacher taught me, look for God in the small,
From the dust on my boots to the night’s quiet call.
They try to break us, say our faith’s out of time,
But His work’s in the moments, keepin’ my heart in line.
With my Bible by my side, I’m grounded in His word,
Every sunrise, every glance, His voice is what I heard.

[Chorus]
I see God’s work in the fire of the sunrise,
In my kids’ bright eyes, where His love never dies.
In the curves of the backroad, in my wife’s tender love,
His grace all around, sent from heaven above.
I see God’s work, in the simple and true,
Country soul burnin’, His light pullin’ me through.

[Verse 2]
Backroad gravel crunches, under tires worn thin,
God’s paintin’ the journey, where my soul’s been.
My wife’s gentle touch, like a prayer in the night,
Her love’s His reflection, guidin’ me to the light.
Kids’ giggles in the yard, like a hymn to my heart,
See His hand in their joy, mendin’ where I fell apart.
World’s full of noise, tryin’ to drown out His call,
But I see Him in the quiet, when the shadows fall.
From the fields to the porch, His work’s all around,
In the love of my family, in this small-town sound.
No politician’s law can take this faith from me,
God’s work in my life, sets my spirit free.

[Bridge]
(Beat slows, banjo wails softly)
His light in the sunrise, His love in their eyes,
Backroads and my wife, where His truth never lies.
No storm can shake me, with His grace in my view,
Country heart’s rooted, His work pullin’ me through.

[Chorus]
I see God’s work in the fire of the sunrise,
In my kids’ bright eyes, where His love never dies.
In the curves of the backroad, in my wife’s tender love,
His grace all around, sent from heaven above.
I see God’s work, in the simple and true,
Country soul burnin’, His light pullin’ me through.

[Verse 3]
They say faith’s just a crutch, but I see Him clear,
In the dawn’s golden glow, in my kids’ joyful cheer.
My wife’s steady love, like a rock through the storm,
God’s work in her heart keeps my spirit warm.
Backroads lead me home, where His presence resides,
Every twist, every turn, He’s my constant guide.
World can try to break us, throw shade on His name,
But I see His work daily, keepin’ my soul aflame.
Small-town daddy, Bible tight in my grip,
Fightin’ for my family, never lettin’ it slip.
God’s in the moments, from the sunrise to night,
His love’s my salvation, in this country trap light.

[Outro]
(808s fade with banjo twang)
Yeah, God’s work in the sunrise, in my kids’ bright glow,
In my wife’s sweet love, where His grace overflows.
Country trap soul, faith burnin’ so bright,
Seein’ God’s work, in this small-town light.

I See God

Yeah, tryna be your lifeline, but I’m sinkin’ in deep,
Small-town scars, got my soul losin’ sleep.
Want to save you, but I’m fightin’ my own,
Drownin’ in my pain, still I’m callin’ you home.

[Chorus]
I can’t be your lifeline, when I’m drownin’ myself,
Heart’s in the deep end, no strength left to help.
Tryna pull you up, but my demons pull me down,
Drownin’ lifeline, barely makin’ a sound.
I can’t be your lifeline, when I’m lost in this flood,
Gasping for air, scarred up, stained with blood.
Want to be your hero, but I’m breakin’ inside,
Drownin’ lifeline, fightin’ just to survive.

[Verse 1]
Lookin’ in your eyes, see you need me to stand,
But my knees are bucklin’, got no solid land.
Past’s a heavy chain, draggin’ me to the deep,
Trauma’s got me haunted, stealin’ all my sleep.
Wanna be your rock, your shelter in the storm,
But I’m fightin’ waves, heart tattered and torn.
Small-town struggles, where the pain don’t fade,
Tryna save you, love, but my soul’s in the shade.
Every scar’s a story, of the fights I’ve lost,
Want to lift you up, but I’m payin’ the cost.
Bourbon in my hand, tryna numb what I feel,
Drownin’ in this flood, prayin’ love’s still real.

[Chorus]
I can’t be your lifeline, when I’m drownin’ myself,
Heart’s in the deep end, no strength left to help.
Tryna pull you up, but my demons pull me down,
Drownin’ lifeline, barely makin’ a sound.
I can’t be your lifeline, when I’m lost in this flood,
Gasping for air, scarred up, stained with blood.
Want to be your hero, but I’m breakin’ inside,
Drownin’ lifeline, fightin’ just to survive.

[Verse 2]
Kids look to me, like I’m s’posed to be strong,
But my mind’s a tempest, been broken too long.
Wife’s holdin’ on, but I’m slippin’ away,
Want to be her savior, but I’m lost in the gray.
Demons in my head, whisper I’m not enough,
Every day’s a battle, and this water’s gettin’ rough.
Small-town weight, carryin’ guilt from my past,
Tryna be your lifeline, but I’m sinkin’ too fast.
Every fight I’ve fought, left a mark on my soul,
Want to pull you close, but I’m losin’ control.
Bottle’s my crutch, but it don’t stop the pain,
Drownin’ in this flood, prayin’ we’ll love again.

[Bridge]
(Beat slows, guitar wails mournfully)
I’m tryna be your hero, but I’m sinkin’ in the deep,
Demons pull me under, while my heart tries to keep.
Scarred-up soul, wish I could be your guide,
But I’m drownin’ lifeline, barely stayin’ alive.

[Chorus]
I can’t be your lifeline, when I’m drownin’ myself,
Heart’s in the deep end, no strength left to help.
Tryna pull you up, but my demons pull me down,
Drownin’ lifeline, barely makin’ a sound.
I can’t be your lifeline, when I’m lost in this flood,
Gasping for air, scarred up, stained with blood.
Want to be your hero, but I’m breakin’ inside,
Drownin’ lifeline, fightin’ just to survive.

[Outro]
Yeah, drownin’ lifeline, scarred and fightin’ to breathe,
Want to save you, love, but I’m lost underneath.
Small-town heart, still tryna hold on tight,
Drownin’ lifeline, prayin’ for one more fight.

Lifeline

Wake up with a smile on my face
Feeling great feeling his sweet grace
Thinking today’s going to be great
But there’s a lingering storm I just can’t shake
Storm clouds roll slowly in my head
Thoughts creep in wishing I was dead
I don’t know why
Just a few minutes ago I was laughing with my wife
Then the anger begins to consume my soul
Where is this coming from, I don’t have control

(pre chorus)
Then as quickly as it came it fades away
But im here picking up the pieces from this day
I don’t know how to explain how I feel
How do I explain what didn’t feel real

(chorus)
I’m breaking down and it don’t feel right
Like I just lost the love of my life
These tears they fall like hail
Anger coming straight from hell
She’s asking why I Cry
Truth, is I don’t know why 

Family’s out were having so much fun
It suddenly hits like a burning sun
I bite my lips to hold it in 
Put a fake smile on just listening
Hearing the laughter of kids eases the pain
But the damns filled with all this rain
I can’t explain the reason the why
It’s been this way my whole damn life
It comes and goes like it’s a hotel
Stabs my back and leaves this hell

(pre chorus)
Then as quickly as it came it fades away
But I’m here picking up the pieces from this day
I don’t know how to explain how I feel
How do I explain what didn’t feel real

(chorus)
I’m breaking down and it don’t feel right
Like I just lost the love of my life
These tears they fall like hail
Anger coming straight from hell
She’s asking why I Cry
Truth, is I don’t know why

Bridge
I am thankful that she understands
Doesn’t push when I fall no demands
She sits right there and just holds my hand
Says theses swings don’t define a man

I’m breaking down and it don’t feel right
Like I just lost the love of my life
These tears they fall like hail
Anger coming straight from hell
She’s asking why I Cry
Truth, is I don’t know why

I’m breaking down and it don’t feel right
Like I just lost the love of my life
These tears they fall like hail
Anger coming straight from hell
She’s asking why I Cry
Truth, is I don’t know why

I’m breaking down and it don’t feel right
Like I just lost the love of my life
These tears they fall like hail
Anger coming straight from hell
She’s asking why I Cry
Truth, is I don’t know why

Truth, is I don’t know why

Truth, is I don’t know why


Don't Know Why
