Year To The Day
by Benjamin William Hastings

Album: Year To The Day - Single


Chorus
It's been one year to the day that I watched you almost die
And yeah, I made this song sound happy, and I know you'll ask me why
Well, the truth is, Junebug, you healed up alright
But I'm still healing

Verse 1
They didn't even sound the sirens, no one thought it was that bad
But I knew ER would be chaos, your brother's heart had taught me that
So I was calm and quite collected from the back
Of what seemed standard procedure

Verse 2
At first, the beepin' then the yellin', your concussion had you mad
And I heard the tone change from the doctor who'd been playin' quarterback
She said, "Dad, gotta tell ya, it's bad
And her chances are falling"

Refrain
And all I know is I started to faint
And somebody caught me
Oh, looking back to that day
Somebody caught me

Verse 3
And your mum was off in Vandy, she had bruises of her own
I didn't know yet how to tell her, we didn't have much time to go
And a police car went to get her
She hit the ground in millions of pieces

Verse 4
And I made promises with God, and I begged and cried and yelled
And left a lifetime's worth of tears inside that cold fluorescent hell
And from my knees, I swear I found the kind of faith
That surpassed all reason

Verse 5
And so I threw a text to Voltron and all who'd intercede with might
And the boys were in Seattle playin' Summer Worship Nights
I swear I felt that arena lift my arms
When I couldn't lift them

Refrain
And all I know is somebody prayed
And Somebody listened
Oh, somebody prayed
And Somebody listened
Oh, lookin' back a year to the day
I'm daily thankin' God that you're with us
And I'll put that down as "somebody prayed
And Somebody listened"

Instrumental Interlude

Chorus
Well, it's been one year to the day that I watched you almost die
And yeah, I made this song sound happy, and I know you'll ask me why
Well, the truth is, you healed up alright
But I'm still healing
