WINTER CARTWRIGHT

Lyrics

[Intro – Spoken / Soft vocals]
Yeah…
Sometimes the ones you love the most…
be the ones you fight the hardest.
But God don’t send people by accident…
Nah… nothing accidental about divine connections.
[Verse 1]
Two girls from the storm, still walking through the rain
Trying to heal old wounds but we bleeding through the pain
Life been throwing punches, we been ducking every blow
But sometimes we turn around and swing at who we know
History deep, memories stacked like bricks
But sometimes Monica act like it don’t exist
Throw the past away like the love was pretend
Forget God sent a blessing disguised as a friend
Now Monica the type give the shirt off her back
Give you her last dollar, never keep score or track
But she got a funny way of showing love sometimes
Heart pure gold but emotions cross the line
And Joyce standing there like, “Girl what we doing?”
We both fighting demons while the devil steady moving
Enemy creeping when the bond start to shake
Trying to tear apart something heaven helped make
[Hook / Chorus]
We on the same side but we fight like foes
Same blood, same pain, just different roads
Forgive each other though it shouldn’t be so
Cause when God in the room the devil can’t grow
Snakes slither quiet, they don’t got no name
Smiling in your face while they feeding the flame
But I’ll be right here when the pieces all fall
Same team, same dream… through it all.
[Verse 2]
Monica said, “I don’t sit with enemies at my table”
But the ones smiling loud be the ones that ain’t stable
Judas in disguise with a kiss and a grin
While they whisper betrayal underneath your skin
Gotta watch the room, gotta watch the air
Cause the snake move silent but the poison still there
No warning, no title, no sign on the door
Just a slither in the grass you ain’t seen before
But Joyce don’t question when the storm come through
She just sweep up the pieces and stand next to you
No interrogation, no “why’d you do that?”
Just loyalty strong like a spine in your back
Two women on a mission but we clash sometimes
Same jersey on but we cross the line
Look like we playing for the opposite team
But really we fighting the same unseen.
[Hook / Chorus]
We on the same side but we fight like foes
Same blood, same pain, just different roads
Forgive each other though it shouldn’t be so
Cause when God in the room the devil can’t grow
Snakes slither quiet, they don’t got no name
Smiling in your face while they feeding the flame
But I’ll be right here when the pieces all fall
Same team, same dream… through it all.
[Bridge – Emotional / soulful]
Seasons change, people grow
Winter winds then springtime glow
We been through summer heat and autumn rain
Still standing here through every pain
And the truth is…
You don’t need nobody but the God within
That quiet little voice when the war begin
But sometimes He send somebody by your side
To remind you who you are when your faith collide.
[Verse 3]
Change good for the soul, yeah we learning that now
Had to humble our pride just to figure it out
Cause love ain’t perfect and loyalty bend
But a real connection always circle again
We done fought storms that the world never knew
But the enemy love when he see us feud
Cause division his weapon, confusion his plan
Trying to break what God put in both our hands
But we wiser now, yeah the lessons done spoke
You can’t let outside snakes cut the family rope
So we dust off the pain, let forgiveness breathe
And remember what the bond was meant to be.
[Final Chorus / Outro]
We on the same side, never meant to divide
Just two souls trying to survive
Through the lies, through the snakes, through the scars we show
Still standing strong cause we letting God grow
Snakes slither quiet, they don’t got no name
But truth shine brighter than the whispering shame
And if the pieces ever fall once more
Joyce right there… like before.
Same team…
Same fight…
Same love…
Same side.
