Lyrics
Verse 1
Sometimes it's hard to breathe
All these thoughts that shout at me
Try to bring me to my knees
And it's overwhelming
Darkness echoes all around
Feels like everything is crashing down
Still I know where my hope is found
And it's only You
Pre-Chorus
Ooooooo
You say You're working
Everything for my good, and
Ooooooo
I believe every word
Chorus
'Cause even in the madness
There is peace
Drowning out the voices
All around me
Through all of this chaos
You are writing a symphony
A symphony
And even in the madness
There is peace
Drowning out the voices
All around me
Through all of this chaos
You are writing a symphony
A symphony
Verse 2
Tune my heart to your beat
Let me be your melody
Even when I cannot see
What you're orchestrating
Even when the dark surrounds
You'll never let me drown
I know that my hope is found
In the name of Jesus
Chorus (Repeat)

Meaning & Inspiration
"Symphony" describes overwhelming inner noise, racing thoughts and surrounding darkness, before locating hope in a single, specific source rather than a general sense of optimism. The opening verse names the difficulty plainly, feeling unable to breathe and watching everything seem to crash down, before stating a settled conviction that hope is found only in God. The pre-chorus quotes a specific belief being held onto, that everything is being worked together for good, tying the song's peace to a stated promise rather than an absence of difficulty. The chorus reframes chaos through a musical metaphor, describing confusing noise as material being shaped into something composed and intentional rather than random. A second verse extends that image further, asking to be tuned like an instrument and to trust what is being arranged even without being able to see the full plan. Structurally the song moves from naming distress directly to trusting an unseen, ongoing process, letting the musical metaphor carry the idea that apparent disorder is being organized into something coherent.
