[Verse 1]
I’ve walked alone for far too long,
With no one left to mourn my wrongs.
Ash in my lungs, silence in my stride,
The world moved on, and I just… survived.
Then I saw you—
Small hands, wide eyes,
The world had cast you out,
Like it once did mine.
---
[Chorus]
Little light, how did you find me?
Through the dust, through the years, through the dark I breathe.
You reached for a ghost, and called her home,
And for the first time… I didn’t feel alone.
I should’ve walked, should’ve turned away—
But I couldn’t leave you, not that day.
You're not my blood, not by name or fate…
But you're the first reason I stayed.
---
[Verse 2]
You don’t see the scars that I wear like skin,
You only see the fire still burning within.
You smile like you’ve never feared the night,
And I… I forgot what it meant to feel right.
You ask me stories I never tell,
You braid my hair like I’m someone else.
And when you sleep, the world feels still—
Even this cursed heart begins to heal.
---
[Chorus]
Little light, how did you find me?
Through the blood, through the storms, through the gods’ decree.
You reached through a past I can’t erase,
And gave a hollow soul a place.
I still carry swords. I still wear pain—
But when you laugh, I feel… almost sane.
You're not my blood, not by name or fate…
But child, you are the first thing I won’t forsake.
---
[Bridge – Quiet, Reflective]
I don’t know how long I’ll stay,
The world always finds a way to break what I hold…
But I’ll carry you through every flame—
Even if it turns me cold.
---
[Final Chorus – Swelling Strings]
Little light, you don’t see the years…
But I see tomorrow when you are near.
You gave my blade a reason to lower,
You gave this ghost a world to shoulder.
You're not my blood…
But you are my world.
And for once…
That’s enough.
