[Intro]
I saw a shadow in the frame, a quiet face that holds the night
A blowing wind through the doorway, stale with basement air.
I know you’re here
[Verse]
Long waves of brown fall over the line of his brow
A beard that maps the stories, soft weathered, hardly loud
Light catches the curve of his jaw, a map of quiet storms
Dark eyes holding orbiting constellations, waiting to conform
The shirt is pale like a memory that keeps a secret thing
Background sinks into velvet, where the unsaid voices sing
He stands in the border of noise and calm, a patient emblem
Breath aligns with the pulse of a room that won’t condemn him
In that stillness, time forgets to hurry, slows its own gears
Every inch of him a shoreline, every glance a quiet sear
The image speaks in silence, a language without loud lines
A portrait of resilience painted in soft, stubborn designs
I know you’re here
[Chorus]
Hold steady in the glow, let the moment breathe
In the quiet witness of a gaze, I believe
The night behind the portrait hovers close and true
And every unspoken answer leans toward you
I know you’re here
[Verse]
A conversation without words begins to hum beneath the skin
Light-colored cloth becomes a flag of what’s been within
There’s weather in the freckles, a history of hopeful scars
A lighthouse in the darkness of rooms that fear the stars
The face turns slightly, a wind that writes a patient vow
To carry what is seen and what remains, a careful plow
He wears the calm like a coat, the warmth like a friend’s hand
Governing the margins between fear and a promised land
If you listen, you’ll hear the hinge of days turning soft
The portrait breathes a living map, a compass dashed with loft
And in the pause between heartbeats, the room leans in to hear
That stillness is a chorus, a shield against the frontier
I know you’re here
[Chorus]
Hold steady in the glow, let the moment breathe
In the quiet witness of a gaze, I believe
The night behind the portrait hovers close and true
And every unspoken answer leans toward you
I know you’re here
[Bridge]
There’s a chorus hidden in the shadow of his smile
Like a shoreline weathered gently by the tide for a while
If the eyes could tell a tale, this silence would be loud
A thousand unsaid chapters bending, calm and proud
I know you’re here
[Chorus]
Hold steady in the glow, let the moment breathe
In the quiet witness of a gaze, I believe
The night behind the portrait hovers close and true
And every unspoken answer leans toward you
I know you’re here
I know you’re here
[Outro]
Keep the light, keep the quiet, keep the face in view
A portrait with a heartbeat, whispering “I’m here with you”
“I know you’re here, I’m here with you”
“I’m here with you, I know you’re here”
