Love is what Remains

Verse 1  
We’ve walked through weeks of questions we can’t name,  
Hearts too tired to fight, minds too full of pain.  
Life can change in just one breath,  
Leave you holding on to echoes and the weight of what is left.
But even in the darkness, something soft stays near,  
A hand upon your shoulder, a whisper in your ear:  
“Breathe into this moment, you don’t have to understand,  
Just feel the love that’s still here, holding out its hand.”
Chorus  
Love is the answer, even when it hurts this much,  
Even when the world you knew shatters at your touch.  
So live, love, laugh while you have today,  
Hold the ones you cherish, don’t let the words delay.  
Yesterday is over, tomorrow’s out of range,  
We only have this heartbeat in the middle of the change.
Verse 2  
We’ve seen how fragile everything can be,  
How plans can fade like writing in the sea.  
Tears come without warning, in the car or in the line,  
But every tear is proof that love was real, was deep, was kind.
So we learn to sit with sorrow and with grace,  
To let both share a table in the same small space.  
To remember every memory as a gift, not just a wound,  
Let gratitude and grieving share the same room.
Chorus  
Love is the answer, even when we can’t see why,  
Even when the only prayer we have left is a sigh.  
So live, love, laugh while you have today,  
Say “I love you” now, don’t let it fade away.  
Yesterday is over, tomorrow’s not arranged,  
We only have this breath of life to choose a different way.
Bridge  
Stay in the present, one step, one tear, one smile,  
You don’t have to fix your heart, just let it beat a while.  
If all we know for certain is that nothing here is sure,  
Let the way we love be what makes this life endure.
Final Chorus  
Love is the answer when we’re broken and unsure,  
The only thing that lives on, the only thing that’s pure.  
So live, love, laugh, even through the rain,  
Give the joy and all the sorrow both a place inside your name.  
This lifetime is a moment, a flicker and it’s gone,  
Make it worth the breathing by the way you carry on.
