Reach for the Light

[Verse 1]
The water stole my voice tonight
Silence wrapped around my skin
Moonlight broke across the surface
Like hope refusing to give in
Every dream I thought was buried
Every promise left behind
Still one hand kept reaching upward
Like my heart had changed its mind

[Pre-Chorus]
If the dark is all I know
Why do I still search above?
Maybe something waits beyond it
Calling me with quiet love

[Chorus]
I will reach for the light
Though the current pulls below
Every wave that tries to claim me
Only teaches me to grow
If one breath is all that’s left
I’ll spend it reaching for the sky
As long as hope can find my hand
I’ll never truly die

[Verse 2]
The ocean keeps my secrets safely
Every tear becomes the sea
But somewhere past the endless blue
Tomorrow still remembers me
Even broken hearts can shimmer
When the moon begins to rise
Sometimes all it takes is one small spark
To open sleeping eyes

[Bridge]
Maybe rescue isn’t coming
Maybe I become my own
One more kick against the darkness
One more step toward coming home
I am more than what has hurt me
More than every fear I’ve known
Even in the deepest water
Light can still become my own

[Final Chorus]
I will reach for the light
Through the silence and the rain
Every scar becomes a compass
Leading me to life again
If these waves won’t let me rest
Then let them carry me on through
Because hope was never drowning…

It was learning how to break through.

[Outro]
The moon still waits…
The tide still turns…
And so do I.
