Verse 1

If I had one answer left to give

If I had one reason just to live

I’d say the years that turned my hair to grey

Were only stones along the way

I’ve flown like eagles on borrowed wind

I’ve drifted where the sky would bend

I’ve watched this world spin round and round

And learned what life is not about

Pre-Chorus

Every page I tore from time

Every truth I couldn’t buy

Chorus

‘Cause the answer wasn’t in my pocket

Wasn’t waiting in my car

I chased deliverance through open doors

Never made it very far

But when my broken spirit cracked my heart

And I fell down on my knees

I found a greater plane above the pain

And mercy looking back at me

Verse 2

Our calendar is numbered now

The days don’t ask us how or why

We choose the season that we sow

Till all the bread is gone somehow

No heir to wear this borrowed crown

No name to carve when I’m laid down

So I’ll cast my throne into the wind

Pray a worthy soul begins again

Pre-Chorus

I was promised gold that never ends

But fortune’s just a fair‑weather friend

Chorus

And the answer wasn’t in my pocket

Wasn’t shining in my car

I chased deliverance through open doors

Never made it very far

But when my broken spirit cracked my heart

And I finally let me be

I saw a greater plane above the pain

Where grace was waiting patiently

Bridge

Now the curtain’s drawing closer

As I round the final bend

Every loss became a teacher

Every ending, just a send

I laid my pride down in the dust

Let go of all I couldn’t trust

Looked to the cross, said “Here I am”

Lord, if You can… please help me stand

Final Chorus

‘Cause the answer wasn’t in my pocket

Wasn’t written in the stars

It was written in surrender

In these broken, open scars

When my weary soul was out of breath

And I had nothing left to start

I looked to Jesus, asked for grace

And He rewrote my heartIf I had one answer left to give

If I had one reason just to live

It’s that the years that faded me to grey

Were only wings… to a greater plane
