[Verse] Smoke curls up from the worn-out table, Cards whispered secrets, hidden and fable. Eyes like rivers, deep and cold— Holdin’ stories that ain’t never told. [Pre-Chorus] But in the dark, I hear a choir sing, Ghosts of gospel, the hope they bring. [Chorus] Poker faces, backroom prayers, Counting wounds, counting cares. Lost in shadows, still I rise, Faith like fire behind these eyes. Poker faces, backroom prayers, Holdin’ on through the midnight air. [Verse] I’ve dealt the hands that break a man, Felt the weight of a broken plan. But in the silence, there’s a song— A holy light to lead me on. [Pre-Chorus] And when the night tries to steal my name, That gospel memory keeps me tame. [Chorus] Poker faces, backroom prayers, Counting wounds, counting cares. Lost in shadows, still I rise, Faith like fire behind these eyes. Poker faces, backroom prayers, Holdin’ on through the midnight air. [Bridge] Dark hands shuffling through the pain, A church bell ringing in the rain. No stone unturned, no soul erased— Just a weary heart with steady grace. [Chorus] Poker faces, backroom prayers, Counting wounds, counting cares. Lost in shadows, still I rise, Faith like fire behind these eyes. Poker faces, backroom prayers, Holdin’ on through the midnight air. [Outro] Holdin’ on through the midnight air... Faith like fire behind these eyes...
