This song came from exhaustion.
FYI, I loathe politics and popular opinion discussions. Not because the topics aren't important, but the way that I hear others literally brand themselves with their thoughts and human obsessions, disregarding the higher purposes of existence and the laws of God.
Everywhere I look, people are entrenched. Opinions harden. Mercy disappears. Conversations turn into battles. Even places that should feel safe and spiritual start sounding like scorekeeping and side taking.
It wears on me. Honestly, it's exhausting. I can't handle it when family or friends engage in it and divide, building walls in conversation.
I think back to being a kid when friendship and love were simple. No labels. No tribes. You became friends because someone invited you to help look for a spider ring in the bushes. That was enough. My childhood homie, DJ, is a buddy for life off of a simple exchange like that.
This song is a plea to put the stones down. To stop acting like we are each other's judges. To put the fight at Christ's feet and let Him handle what we were never meant to carry.
Everyone He suffered for deserves more mercy than we give them.
The tone is intentional. I'd call it urgent, but not trying to be angry. Loving without being passive. I did not want this to sound like another voice yelling into the noise. It needed energy without aggression.
The message is simple. Find a face instead of a side. Find a hand instead of an argument. Help someone instead of winning something.
