Verse 1 (Male – blues, slow burn) Isaiah wrote it in a hard year When hope felt thin and nights were long Zebulun, Naphtali took the first hit Felt forgotten, felt done wrong Invaded homes, divided hearts Future foggy, faith worn down They were the first to feel the darkness The first ones written out of town Female (soft harmony, echoing) Written off… left behind… Pre-Chorus (Male – funk pulse builds) And right there in the silence God didn’t give a plan He spoke a promise Said, “Watch what I am” Chorus (Male + Female – blues gospel, festive lift) The people walkin’ in the dark Saw a great light shine Not a flash, not a moment But hope right on time When fear was heavy, hearts worn thin He didn’t shout from above A light walked in A light walked in ⸻ Verse 2 (Male – storytelling) Darkness ain’t just lack of light It’s waitin’, wonderin’, losin’ ground Askin’ heaven if it still sees When answers don’t make a sound Isaiah said, “God sees it all” Even places crushed first in line The ones who felt abandoned Would be first to see the shine Female (warm response) First to see… first to rise… Chorus (Repeat, tighter groove) The people walkin’ in the dark Saw a great light shine Not a theory, not religion But hope in real time When fear was heavy, hearts worn thin He didn’t shout from above A light walked in A light walked in ⸻ Verse 3 (Male – weight and wonder) When God kept that ancient word He didn’t send thunder down Didn’t ride in power and fire Didn’t wear a crown “For unto us a child is born” Sounds soft, but don’t get it wrong That’s God steppin’ into history Wearin’ flesh, breathin’ lungs Female (gentle, almost lullaby) Born in poverty… born in pain… ⸻ Bridge (Funk breakdown – male lead, female ad-libs) Not a general, not a throne Not a sword or a system He came as a baby Into a world that missed Him Wonderful Counselor when we don’t know Mighty God when we’re too weak to stand Everlasting Father when love runs dry Prince of Peace with nail-scarred hands Female (layered, worshipful) Peace that stays… peace that lasts… ⸻ Final Chorus (Big, warm, hopeful) The people walkin’ in the dark Saw a great light shine Chains got lighter, fear let go When hope crossed the line Joy ain’t shallow, it’s hard-earned grace When the weight lifts up A light walked in A light walked in ⸻ Outro (Male – bluesy, reflective) This wasn’t chance This wasn’t delay The zeal of the Lord Made a way Not ‘cause the world was ready But ‘cause it was desperate then Peace didn’t come as an idea It came as a Person Female (soft, festive close) Laid in a manger… Light in the dark…
