Verse 1
All year long we carried
Words that taught us how to see,
Dreams that fell and shattered,
Yet showed new paths to be.
Joy and every challenge
Walked beside us hand in hand,
Now everything stands still for a moment
In the year’s ending light so grand.
Pre-Chorus
Today we don’t keep running on,
We don’t ask the reason why,
We just listen to our hearts
As they finally understand.
Chorus
Now everything grows quiet inside us,
The noise slowly fades away,
Our hearts can finally breathe again,
And only love will stay.
Today only the moment exists,
Not yesterday, not tomorrow’s call,
By the light of a single candle
We relearn that we’re free to believe at all.
⸻
Verse 2
Every wound became a lesson,
Every tear turned into strength,
Every feeling shaped our journey,
Every goodbye went further still.
Life placed before us
A thousand signs and miracles too,
And today I’m grateful for everything
That I received and passed on to you.
Pre-Chorus
Because what hurt us raised us up,
What we lost still showed the way,
And now my soul finds its right place
As the silence softly stays.
Chorus
Now everything grows quiet inside us,
The weight of the past falls away,
We forgive and we let go,
And the heart learns a brighter way.
Today only the moment matters,
A single touch, a single word,
So we dare to be happy again,
And believe in everything good we’ve heard.
⸻
Bridge
Time moves on, it waits for no one,
Runs much faster than we know,
But every day is still a gift
If we can be present in it so.
So today we choose forgiveness,
So today we give a chance,
So today we choose love,
Because this is how we learn to live at last.
(soft backing vocals, bells, sleigh bells gently)
Chorus
Now everything grows quiet inside us,
And the light remains within,
We start again with a clean page
Under a brand new dawn’s first gleam.
Today we believe again, we trust again,
We rebuild the road ahead,
Because a celebration is nothing else
Than when the heart finds home instead…
And love remains.
Outro
Only love…
Only love remains.
