Already Won

You don’t understand, I can see it in your eyes

You think the way I smile don’t match this life

Like I’m laughing at a joke you never heard

Like I’m speaking in a different world

I was empty, yeah I played the part

Chasing things that never filled my heart

Tried to build a life that felt like mine

But it slipped through every time

I walked alone down roads I chose

Thought I knew what mattered most

But grace was waiting in the fall

I’ve already won

Before the day is done

Before the battles come

I’ve already won

Now the weight is gone

I don’t have to run

Even if it all comes undone

I’ve already won

God let me wander, let me learn the cost

Of living like I wasn’t lost

By the time I turned around

There was silence, there was no one else around

But I wasn’t as alone as I believed

There was mercy waiting there for me

In the quiet, in the wreckage too

I found something true

Didn’t earn it, didn’t deserve

Still He gave me more than worth

And now I see it all

I’ve already won

Before the day is done

Before the battles come

I’ve already won

Now the weight is gone

I don’t have to run

Even if it all comes undone

I’ve already won

Now I see their faces in the morning light

Messy, broken, beautiful and mine

Every breath, every little thing

Feels like grace I didn’t bring

Used to fear what I can’t control

Money, health, the unknown road

Now I lay it down, let it go

And somehow peace just grows

If it all disappeared tomorrow…

I’d still be okay

I’ve already won

Yeah the work is done

Not because of who I’ve been

But because of who He is

So I’ll still smile on

When the night is long

Even if everything is gone

I’ve already won

You don’t understand…

But you might someday

Why I smile this way
