Saints and Sinners v2

Inspiration

Saints always have a past and sinners always have a future.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I was a headline, talk of the town

Wrote my wrongs in smoke, then burned it down

You see my past like it’s all I am

But baby, I’m more than where I began

[Pre-Chorus]

Flip the script, I’m not your shame

Learned to dance in the pouring rain

You call me lost—

I call it flame

[Chorus] 33

Saints can fall down, sinners can rise

We’ve all got halos in disguise

We’re not bound to shadows cast

‘Cause saints always have a past

And sinners can get a second chance

For another dance or even romance

You don’t know who I’ll become

I’m not where I started from

From shadow to truth, we’re living proof

Saints had pasts—sinners got futures too

[Verse 2] 1.03

She had lipstick lies and a rebel grin

Didn’t ask for mercy, just let life begin

Wrote her prayers on the back of a napkin

Turned her guilt into gold, yeah that’s happenin’

[Pre-Chorus]

They tried to pin her to her past

But she wore grace like it would last

Say what you want—

She still laughs

[Verse 3]1.33

You see a sinner when you look in my eyes

But I’ve been dancing in my own sunrise

[Verse 4]

She wore white, but her soul was grey

Whispers followed her every day

But the storms she walked through, the love she gave

Were the very things that made her brave

[Pre-Chorus]

You see perfection in a painted frame

But every saint has walked through shame

You wear white now, but don't forget

That even angels paid their debt

Saints fall short, and sinners bloom

We’re just seeds that grew too soon

[Chorus]

Saints can fall down, sinners can rise

We’ve all got halos in disguise

We’re not bound to shadows cast

‘Cause saints always have a past

And sinners can get a second chance

For another dance or even romance

You don’t know who I’ll become

I’m not where I started from

From shadow to truth, we’re living proof

Saints had pasts—sinners got futures too

[Verse 6]

They saw my fall, but not the climb

Judged the mess, ignored the rhyme

But I got roots in broken ground

And baby, look at me now

[Pre-Chorus]

I've been the storm, I've been the calm

I've been the bruise, now I’m the balm

You can’t define me by one page

I turned the fire into a stage

[Chorus]

Saints can fall down, sinners can rise

We’ve all got halos in disguise

We’re not bound to shadows cast

‘Cause saints always have a past

And sinners can get a second chance

For another dance or even romance

You don’t know who I’ll become

I’m not where I started from

From shadow to truth, we’re living proof

Saints had pasts—sinners got futures too

[Verse 7]

She walks with stories behind her eyes

Wearing silence as a thin disguise

But in the cracks where shadows bend

That’s where her healing starts to mend

[Pre-Chorus]

If you knew where I have been

You’d call this heart a violin

It’s played in dirt, it’s played in pain

But oh, the sound—it sings again

[Verse 8]

Every saint you praise was once like me

Dancing on the edge of mercy

And every sinner you curse might shine

When it’s their turn to realign

[Pre-Chorus]

Where the light enters, love begins

We’re not just bound by our sins

Every saint has cried alone

And every sinner finds a home

[Bridge]

We’re not your shame, we’re not your chains

We’re comebacks born from growing pains

We’re not the names they gave us

We’re not the sins that shaped us

There’s a future blooming in the dust

If we just let it rise in us

[Final Chorus]

Saints can fall down, sinners can rise

We’ve all got halos in disguise

We’re not bound to shadows cast

‘Cause saints always have a past

And sinners can get a second chance

For another dance or even romance

You don’t know who I’ll become

I’m not where I started from

From shadow to truth, we’re living proof

Saints had pasts—sinners got futures too
