Title: I Am Innocent
(A deeply emotional Nigerian gospel/soul ballad)
Verse 1
I never wished this pain on anyone,
I never prayed for tears to fill my eyes.
They took my freedom, they chained my hands,
Yet my heart kept crying, "God, You know I tried."
The nights were long, the fear was real,
Every breath I took was by Your grace.
Many judged me without hearing my voice,
But Heaven knew the truth of my case.
Pre-Chorus
If only the world could see my heart,
If only they knew where I've been.
Though my body was surrounded by darkness,
My soul kept whispering...
Chorus
I am innocent...
Only God knows my story.
I am innocent...
He carried me through the valley.
They may speak against my name,
But my hands are clean before the Lord.
I am innocent...
And one day, the truth will speak for me.
Verse 2
I came back alive by amazing grace,
Not because I was strong,
But because God's mercy covered me.
The prayers of my family became my shield,
And every tear became a testimony.
Today I stand, not to seek revenge,
But to thank the God who rescued me.
What the enemy meant for my destruction,
Has become a song of victory.
Bridge
I forgive those who misunderstood me.
I forgive those who spoke against me.
My future is brighter than my pain,
Because God is writing my story again.
Final Chorus
I am innocent...
My Redeemer fought for me.
I am innocent...
His mercy set me free.
Though I walked through the shadow of death,
His hand never let me go.
I am innocent...
This is my testimony.
This is my victory.
I am innocent.
Outro (spoken softly)
"They tried to silence my voice...
They tried to bury my destiny...
But God brought me back alive.
I am innocent... and I will keep praising Him."
