lyrics

Verse:
Seven days ago, my grandma had a stroke;
found out through a voicemail that my mom had left on my phone.
Sitting in silence, reclining, trying to gather my thoughts;
overwhelmed with emotion, my body’s numb, I can’t talk.
Processing what I just heard, it just had seemed so absurd;
saw her just days before it happened, got my mind in a blur.
Without hesitation, I suppress the feelings that are felt 'cause I don’t know how to go about managing them myself.
Tucked away in my heart, I start erecting the wall that has been keeping the fear captive in my soul for so long.
I know it’s wrong, but I guess I’m used to it;
dealing with discomfort this way and not effectively giving my humanness its space.
Space to hurt and to wallow in the sorrow;
time to grieve but also having hope for a better tomorrow.
Gotta follow something greater than my own understanding, amidst the testing and the trials I encounter on the daily.

Chorus:
But whenever life hits, what will I do? What will I say?
Will I hold it all in or will I give it all away?
Will I try my best to act like everything is okay?
Or will I lift it up to God, unmasking all of my pain?
I must say, I have days in which it’s really hard to do;
reluctant giving up the thing I’ve been so accustomed to.
Breaking the habit, ignoring the challenge, becoming so comfortable;
too scared to let my guard down and to risk being vulnerable.
