Walking in the Light of Hope

[Intro]
In shadows long and silence deep,
A soul sits still, afraid to weep,
A bottle's glint, a silent plea,
A path unknown, a destiny.

[Verse 1]
Nineteen hundred seventy-five, a weary heart, a broken life,
Lost in the haze of pain and tears, battling shadows, haunted fears.
Sits alone in his humble tent, memories of torment, time well spent,
Year nine of sobriety's grace, but doubts and scars still leave their trace.

[Pre-Chorus]
Then through the door, a gentle light,
A voice so pure breaks through the night,
"My child, don't give in to despair,
You're stronger than the pain you bear."

[Chorus]
Oh, rise above the darkness deep,
Let hope ignite, let faith leap,
You're never alone in this fight,
Walk in the love, walk in the light.

[Bridge]
The Lord in white, with tender grace,
Speaks softly through the sacred space,
"Trust in me, your soul's reborn,
From hell's fires, you'll be strong.

[Outro]
Hold on, my child, you're not alone,
In every shadow, I have shown,
A guiding hand, a love so true,
Forever walking close with you.
