Find the Little Light

[Verse 1]
Pulled the curtains
Stayed in bed all afternoon
Phone on silent
Half a pizza in my room
I keep scrolling
Through the versions of their lives
Thinking maybe
I got left behind
[Pre-Chorus]
But there’s a crack in the door
A line on the floor
Where the daylight keeps on trying
And a voice in my chest
Faint at best
But it keeps on
Keeps on crying
[Chorus]
I’m just trying to find the little light
In the middle of a heavy night
Holding on to something I can’t see
But it’s holding back a piece of me
If it’s only just a spark
That’s fine
I’ll cup it in my shaking hands this time
I’m down
But I’m not done
All right
I’m just trying to find the little light
[Verse 2]
Washed-out mirror
Eyes like someone I don’t know
Coffee bitter
But it gets me out the door
Every sidewalk
Feels like walking through a storm
But the barista
Writes my name with a heart drawn
[Pre-Chorus]
Tiny kindnesses glow
In the places I go
Like a map that’s slowly drawing
And I trip
And I swear
But I’m still getting there
Yeah
My tired feet keep walking
[Chorus]
I’m just trying to find the little light
In the middle of a heavy night
Holding on to something I can’t see
But it’s holding back a piece of me
If it’s only just a spark
That’s fine
I’ll cup it in my shaking hands this time
I’m down
But I’m not done
All right
I’m just trying to find the little light
[Bridge]
One deep breath
In this crowded room
I’m still scared
But I’m moving through
If all I do today
Is stand up straight
That’s still some kind of brave (oh, yeah)
[Chorus]
I’m just trying to find the little light
In the middle of a heavy night
Holding on to something I can’t see
But it’s holding back a piece of me
If it’s only just a spark
That’s fine
I’ll cup it in my shaking hands this time
I’m down
But I’m not done
All right
I’m just trying to find the little light
Yeah
I’m down
But I’m not done
All right
I’m just trying to find the little light

Subtle bass and finger snaps build the energy, chorus opens with stacked harmonies on the hook. Final chorus adds octave vocal and tambourine for a gentle, uplifting lift., light
