The Name I Need

Verse 1 I’ve been carrying noise in my chest all week Deadlines, doubts, couldn’t fall asleep Phone light flickers in a quiet room But it don’t fix the ache or the coming gloom I tried strong, I tried proud Tried standing taller in a louder crowd But strength runs thin when the night runs deep And the silence says what I don’t wanna keep ⸻ Pre-Chorus When my hands feel empty And the ground feels weak There’s a whisper rising Before I speak ⸻ Chorus I call the Name I need Ya Rahman, breathe on me Ya Salaam, settle my heart When it’s tearing apart I call the Name I need Ya Hadi, guide my feet Every fear, every flame Finds its place in Your Name ⸻ Verse 2 Some days I lose what I thought was mine Plans fall through like broken lines I count the losses, count the cost Wondering where my strength got lost But You are Al-Aleem, You know my frame Every tear and every strain You are Al-Adl, perfectly fair Nothing slips past Your care ⸻ Pre-Chorus When my chest feels heavy And I can’t see clear There’s a door that opens When I draw You near ⸻ Chorus I call the Name I need Ya Rahim, mercy over me Ya Latif, gentle and wise See what I hide inside I call the Name I need Ya Fattah, open for me Every wall, every shame Falls away in Your Name ⸻ Bridge (Soft Drop – Intimate) Not every answer comes right away Not every storm just fades But You are As-Sabur You teach my heart to wait And You are Al-Wali Closer than my fear Not distant from my breaking You are always near ⸻ Final Chorus (Lifted) So I call the Name I need Al-Qawiyy when I’m weak Al-Ghaffar when I fall You are greater than it all I call the Name I need From the Qur’an You speak Every wound, every flame Finds its cure in Your Name The Name I need… Is the Name You’ve always been.
