[Intro – Spoken] They called it life… I called it survival. God called me higher. [Verse 1] Fists on the wall, jokes in the hall, I learned real young not to flinch at all. Bruises under sleeves, prayers under breath, A room full of people, still alone with the stress. They made my pain look common, made my tears look weak, So I taught every storm inside my chest to never speak. Every laugh was a hammer, every word was a nail, But God stayed beside me when the whole world failed. [Pre-Chorus] I don’t chase revenge, I got nothing to prove, My pulse stays slow when the vultures move. They expected rage, they expected defeat, But the Lord gave me love, and He crowned me with peace. [Chorus] Let the vultures circle, they can’t feed on me, Grace of God around me like an army I can’t see. Stone in my posture, but there’s love beneath, Hell was in my story, now my soul knows peace. Let the vultures circle, let them watch me rise, I survived the darkness with forgiveness in my eyes. Strong without the hatred, calm without defeat, By the grace of God, I’m too alive to be their feast. [Verse 2] I made violence look normal, said, “I’m fine” through pain, Walked alone through thunder like it sounded just like rain. They tried to make me bitter, but the poison couldn’t stay, I gave it to the Father, and He washed it all away. Now I move in silence, every footstep under control, I don’t need to break them just to prove that I am whole. They can mock, they can lie, they can sharpen every blade, I’m protected by a peace that no enemy can take. [Bridge – Choir] Every scar became a scripture, Every tear became a sign. They were digging me a grave, God was building me a shrine. I forgive, but I remember— Love don’t mean I leave the door. Peace is not surrender; I just don’t bleed anymore. [Final Chorus] Let the vultures circle, they can’t feed on me, Grace of God around me like an army I can’t see. Stone in my posture, but there’s love beneath, Hell was in my story, now my soul knows peace. Let the vultures circle, let them watch me rise, No revenge upon my tongue, only fire in my eyes. Strong without the hatred, calm without defeat, By the grace of God, I’m too alive to be their feast. [Outro] Face like stone, heart full of light, God made a throne from my longest night. Let them circle… I’m still here.
