Locked Door

VERSE 1
Me and him were just kids with a dream
Holding hands in the dark, couldn't tell a soul
Mama turned away, Daddy slammed the door
Said we'd burn in hell, said we'd lose it all
But we had country music on the radio
And we had each other, and we had His grace
Praying in the truck bed under stars that knew
What our families wouldn't—that we were true

CHORUS
So we thank the small things that got us through
Your hand in mine when the world said no
Every prayer whispered, every song, every kiss we stole
We built a life on the love He said was right
When everyone we knew said turn off the light
In this simple grace, this is where we belong
We are not mistakes, we are not wrong

VERSE 2
Years went by, we worked hard, side by side
Saved up money for a house with a porch
Made something beautiful from the wreckage they left
Built an altar from their "no," a temple from their shame
Then one day Mama called, said they'd seen our names
Said they missed us, said they're sorry now
But we know the difference between sorry and changed
Between a cracked door and a healed thing

INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE

VERSE 3
We looked at that door and we kept it locked
Some bridges burn so you know not to cross
We thanked them for the lesson, thanked them for the pain
'Cause it showed us what real love means—
It means choosing yourself when no one else will
It means believing God sees you, even when they don't
It means your life is holy ground, whether they ever kneel there or not

FINAL CHORUS
So we thank the small things that made us free
A cup of coffee, a melody, a God who sees
Every scar, every fight, every dream we chased
We built a life on the love we gave
And we're grateful for the road, grateful for this grace
Where two hearts found home, and found faith
You are not their rejection, you are not their shame
You are exactly who you're meant to be, and that's enough
