[Intro] [Energy: Low] (Piano single notes, slow and haunting) (No vocals — 8 bars, atmospheric build) (Strings enter softly on bar 5) [Verse 1] [Energy: Low] I got the scholarship and lost the thread, Three semesters gone, a dream left for dead— Talked my way back in through a cracking door, Never quite sure what I was working for. Got the job and lost it, got it back again, Kept on building something out of where I'd been— Every time I thought I'd cleared the debt, Something broke that I hadn't budgeted yet. [Pre-Chorus] [Energy: Building] Five hundred dollars saved, Five hundred dollar bill— The car gave out exactly When the account stood still— I raged against the timing, I cursed the broken plan— Then something shifted in me— And I began to understand— [Chorus 🔥] [Energy: Explosive] He saw the bill coming, Before I saw the need— He filled the account early While I was planting seed— I never get two days' worth, Never get to store— Just enough for today, Just enough— Nothing more. On the Manna Plan, On the Manna Plan— I don't get to gather, I don't get to save— I get today's portion, Carried by His hand— Living scared and trusting— On the Manna Plan. [Verse 2] [Energy: Low] Ten months without a paycheck, The panic came at night— Chest on fire, convinced I was dying, Every breath a fight— Lost eighty pounds, got strong, got proud, Gained it back with interest, arthritis loud— Walked with a cane, drove with a sticker, Every time I climbed the walls got thicker— [Pre-Chorus] [Energy: Building] A fraud took everything I'd stored, Bankruptcy, almost lost the floor— The house held on by something thin, Something I still can't explain from within— I didn't have a safety net, I've never had a landing— But looking back across the wreckage— Something else was standing— [Chorus 🔥] [Energy: Explosive] He saw the storm coming, Before the clouds had formed— He placed the people, placed the timing, Placed the eye inside the storm— I never get two days' worth, Never get to breathe— Just enough for today, Just enough— Just enough to believe. On the Manna Plan, On the Manna Plan— I don't get to gather, I don't get to save— I get today's portion, Carried by His hand— Living scared and trusting— On the Manna Plan. [Bridge] [Energy: Low] (Piano only, vocals raw and close) I used to think provision meant A surplus and a shore— A number in an account That finally said enough, no more— But the wilderness doesn't work that way, It never has, it never will— You wake up and the ground is bare— And then the morning fills— [Energy: Building] I still don't feel safe— I probably never will— I still watch the account— I still feel the chill— But five hundred came before the bill— It always has— It always will— [Chorus 🔥] [Energy: Explosive] He sees the bill coming, Before I see the need— He fills the account early While I'm still on my knees— I never get two days' worth, Never get to land— Just enough for today— Just enough— Held in His hand. On the Manna Plan, On the Manna Plan— I don't get to gather, I don't get to save— I get today's portion, Carried by His hand— Living scared and trusting— On the Manna Plan. [Post-Chorus] [Energy: High] Still scared— Still trusting— Still standing— On the Manna Plan. Still here— Still reaching— Still held— On the Manna Plan. [Outro] [Energy: Low] [Fade Out] (Piano returns, single notes, haunting) (Rock wall drops away completely) Just enough... Just enough... Every time... Just enough. 🔥 😍 😱 🙌 👍 😎 🥵
