Lyrics
[Verse 1]
One candle on the sill
One small flame, still
Morning pressed its face
Against the glass
Your hands were tired
Your eyes were wet
But you were standing
When I met you there
[Pre-Chorus]
And the dark, it loosened
Little by little
Like a knot untied
In the quiet
I heard your breath
I heard mine answer
Then the room began
To lift
[Chorus]
One candle becomes the dawn
One heart learns to carry on
Hold on, hold on
The night is gone
One candle becomes the dawn
We were broken, now we’re strong
Hold on, hold on
The light lives on
[Verse 2]
There was frost on the pane
There was salt in the air
But your name in my mouth
Was a prayer
The floorboards creaked
Like old grief waking
Then the morning came
With open arms
[Pre-Chorus]
And the dark, it loosened
Little by little
Like a knot untied
In the quiet
I heard your breath
I heard mine answer
Then the room began
To lift
[Chorus]
One candle becomes the dawn
One heart learns to carry on
Hold on, hold on
The night is gone
One candle becomes the dawn
We were broken, now we’re strong
Hold on, hold on
The light lives on
[Bridge]
Lay your sorrow down
In my open hands
Let the sorrow turn
To sea and sand
When the long blue hour
Starts to break apart
You will find your way
By your own heart
[Final Chorus]
One candle becomes the dawn
One heart learns to carry on
Hold on, hold on
The night is gone
One candle becomes the dawn
We were broken, now we’re strong
Hold on, hold on
The light lives on

Celtic harp and faint low whistle color the edges, with delayed vocal doubles, haloed reverb, and a luminous wide mix that grows from close-mic to celestial., soft, ballad, celtic, warm, vocal
