[Intro ๐ฅ][Energy: Mid] (dark synth bass enters alone) (programmed drums build underneath) (choral accent โ one hit) Mummy knows (yeah) Daddy's coming home (always) [Verse 1 ๐ฅ][Energy: Mid-High] (brooding, serious, close vocal) You think faithfulness is weakness You think commitment is a chain You think a man who keeps his vows Is either lying Or insane But I've been where you're pointing I know what that road costs I know what gets taken I know what gets lost So don't mistake my stillness For a man who doesn't burn I burn I just know Where that fire Has to turn [Pre-Chorus][Energy: Build] (bass climbs, choral accents enter) They say a faithful man Is just a man Who hasn't had the chance I say a faithful man Is just a man Who made his choice And made it twice And made it every day Since [Chorus ๐ฅ][Energy: Explosive] (drums crash in โ Unholy DNA unmistakable) (male vocal opens up โ defiant, serious, immovable) Mummy knows Daddy's coming home No secrets No shadows No body shop No other phone I'm holy Not perfect But pointed at the light I'm holy Faithful to my God My wife My daughters My life Don't call it boring Call it chosen every day Don't call it weakness Call it knowing What I'm not Willing To trade I'm holy I'm holy Yeah [Verse 2 ๐ฅ][Energy: Mid-High] (drops back slightly โ still brooding, more personal) Thirty four years And she still has my whole heart Not because I never stumbled Not because I'm set apart But because I made a covenant Not a feeling Not a phase And covenants don't bend To moods Or seasons Or bad days And my God has been my anchor When the current pulled me hard And my daughters have been watching Every single yard So I stand here in the culture That says faithfulness is dead And I say โ Watch me Watch me Instead [Pre-Chorus][Energy: Build] (choir rises, bass more urgent) They say a faithful man Is just a man Who hasn't had the chance I say a faithful man Is just a man Who looked at everything That called to him And walked Back Home [Chorus ๐ฅ][Energy: Explosive] Mummy knows Daddy's coming home No secrets No shadows No body shop No other phone I'm holy Not perfect But pointed at the light I'm holy Faithful to my God My wife My daughters My life Don't call it boring Call it chosen every day Don't call it weakness Call it knowing What I'm not Willing To trade I'm holy I'm holy Yeah [Bridge ๐ญ][Energy: Low] (everything drops โ synth bass alone, heartbeat slow) (vocal forward, almost spoken, weight of 34 years behind it) Let me tell you what this actually costs (beat) It costs you every time The culture says you're missing out Every time the world says Take what you can get Every time the lesser thing Comes dressed as something better (choir hums underneath, barely audible) And you look at it And you name it And you walk Back Home Because home is not a consolation prize Home is Everything [Bridge ๐ฅ][Energy: Explosive] (full production slams back โ harder than before) And my God saw everything I am Before I chose to follow And loved me anyway And called me anyway And kept me anyway And my wife has stood beside me Through every hard year Every wrong word Every valley And my daughters โ My daughters โ Are watching what a man Who stays Looks like I will not Waste That [Final Chorus ๐ฅ๐ฅ][Energy: Explosive] (overwhelming โ full choir, drums driving, bass thundering) Mummy knows Daddy's coming home No secrets No shadows No body shop No other phone I'm holy Not because I'm better I'm holy Because I'm covered and I chose I'm holy Faithful to my God My wife My daughters My life This is what it looks like When a man decides This is what it looks like When a covenant Survives Don't call it boring Don't call it old fashioned Don't call it anything But chosen Every Day I'm holy I'm holy Mummy knows Daddy's coming home [Outro ๐ฅ][Energy: Low][Fade Out] (dark synth bass returns alone โ same as intro) (choral accent โ one final hit) (silence) Mummy knows ...daddy's coming home Always
