Nobody's Coming

Intro

(Mm)

(Mm-hmm)

Broke boy broke ground

No one came around

Verse 1

Counted every hand that never reached my way

Built a wall from all the names I wouldn't say

Told a child's story till it choked me half to death

Every door I never opened stole a breath

Wrong turn wrong road found out growing stings

Waiting on a shadow waiting on a king

Then I caught who was watching how they needed me to stand

No more kid in the wreck time to be a man

Pre-Chorus

So I can nurse the wound

Or I can raise the roof

But I can't carry both

If I'm gonna carry truth

Chorus

Nobody's coming

(Coming for me)

Nobody's coming at all

So I'm coming for my people

I'm the hand that breaks the fall

It could wreck me

(Could wreck me now)

Could wreck me to the core

But nobody's coming

So a man is built from war

Post-Chorus

Built from war

Built from war

Stand up

Stand up

Verse 2

Wasn't mine how I started it is mine how I end

A man protects what he honors what he lifts when it bends

Not how loud that he shouts but how soft that he hears

How he stays in the mess how he swallows his fears

My habits my word when it costs me my pride

My shoulders for the weight my steady hands beside

Not clean not finished not anywhere near done

But I'm finally the man that my younger self won

Pre-Chorus

So I can clutch the past

Or I can grip the wheel

But I can't hold both

And my blood needs me to feel

Chorus

Nobody's coming

(Coming for me)

Nobody's coming at all

So I became the one who shows

The cover and the wall

It didn't crack me

(No it made me whole)

No it made me whole at last

'Cause nobody's coming

So the man is built to last

Bridge

IT'S MINE

The life the love the ones I lift

IT'S MINE

To protect provide and shift

I'm not begging for it back

I'm not asking for more time

I'm just planting both my feet

AND HOLDING MINE

Breakdown

Stand up

Stand up

(Stand up)

Final Chorus

Nobody's coming

(And I'm free)

And I'm free

I am the hand in the dark

So the dark belongs to me

It won't break me

(It builds me deep)

It builds me deep and slow

'Cause nobody's coming

So the building starts with me

Outro

Starts with me

Stays with me

That's a man

That's a man
