year to the day - benjamin william hastings lyrics

[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
but 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]
and 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 mom was off in [?], 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 call for us in h*ll
and from my knees, i swear i found the kind of faith
that surpassed all reason

[verse 5]
and so i threw a text of all [?] 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
