The Wound
Can’t Lead
PUCKHAM
The heart of the song
Pain deserves care, but it was never meant to become our compass.
“I can listen to the wound without handing it the wheel.”

BEHIND THE SONG
The story beneath the sound.
Forgiveness does not deny the wound. It refuses to let the wound choose every road that comes after it.
A wound can explain why we flinch, withdraw, control, or retaliate. Explanation brings compassion—but when pain becomes the permanent leader, yesterday keeps designing tomorrow.
Forgiveness is not permission, reunion, or forgetting. It is the slow recovery of authorship: the moment we stop letting what hurt us decide who we must become.
Let the song meet you where you are. You do not have to solve its meaning—only notice what it opens in you.
