"Saved by Your Light"
( hybrid rap/rock/alt-metal)
For Cheyenne
[Verse 1 – Rap style]
I was falling through the cracks, lost in the noise
No voice, just void, like a broken toy
Every step I took felt like a war inside
‘Til you found me in the wreck, and you stood by my side
I was drowning in the shadows, you gave me breath
You pulled me from the edge when I flirted with death
Now I see the sun, yeah, I feel the flame
And I whisper your name like it’s healing my pain
[Pre-Chorus – Melodic singing]
You didn’t run, you didn’t hide
You stayed through the storms and the darkest nights
You held me close when I was lost
Now I know what love really costs
[Chorus – Heavy with screamed backing vocals]
You saved me!
From the silence, from the fear
You gave me something real
You broke through the steel!
Cheyenne —
You gave me the world, gave me light
Held my soul through the fight
Now I burn, I burn for you tonight!
[Verse 2 – Rap/Sing blend]
All the battles in my head, they don’t win no more
You slammed every shut door, built a brand-new floor
You made me believe in the man I could be
Now I’m standing stronger, ‘cause you believed in me
[Bridge – Soft vocal, building into a scream]
Every scar I wear
You kissed it there
You taught me love is brave, not fair
And now I swear—
I’ll never leave, I’ll never fade
‘Cause you’re the reason I was saved!
[Final Chorus – Screamed and sung with layered vocals]
You saved me!
From the silence, from the fear
You gave me something real
You broke through the steel!
Cheyenne —
You gave me the world, gave me light
Held my soul through the fight
Now I burn, I burn for you tonight!
[Outro – Whispered fading to silence]
You were the light… when I had none
You are the reason… I go on
