Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You climb where the fire burns weakest and low Where the small, dying light barely manages glow You sit on the edge like you’re ready to fall But I’ve seen that look… it don’t fade at all I’ve watched men like you in the turning of years Bury bright names under silence and fear But some things don’t dim, they just wait out of sight Like embers that breathe in the depth of the night [Pre-Chorus] You don’t have to speak, I can hear it still In the quiet between what you are and will [Chorus] You were chosen once… that mark remains It don’t wash away in the passing of names They can build their walls, they can turn their eyes But they don’t unmake what the fire implies You were seen once clear… set apart, set above That kind of spark ain’t a thing to remove They may move on, they may refuse But what you are… was never theirs to use [Verse 2] You say “used to be” like it buries the flame Like the past is a thing you can quiet with shame But I’ve seen what lingers when men turn away It don’t die in the dark… it just learns how to stay The world takes its fill, then it leaves you behind Calls it peace when it’s just being blind But there’s something in you they never could name Something older than banners and louder than fame [Pre-Chorus] You feel it stir though you hold it down Like a deeper voice underneath the sound [Chorus] You were chosen once… that mark remains It don’t wash away in the passing of names They can build their walls, they can turn their eyes But they don’t unmake what the fire implies You were seen once clear… set apart, set above That kind of spark ain’t a thing to remove They may move on, they may refuse But what you are… was never theirs to use [Bridge] There are quieter places than this, you know Where the surface breaks and the deep winds blow Where the world grows thin… where the truth runs wide And the things beneath no longer hide Walk with me where the air runs strange Where a man don’t shrink… where a man might change You don’t have to fight, you don’t have to choose Just follow the path that’s been calling you [Final Chorus] You were chosen once… and I see it still Not in what you’ve lost—but in deeper will There’s a door half-closed, there’s a line you’ve crossed And you’re nearer now than the life you lost They may never see, they may never choose But that doesn’t bind what you can’t refuse You were chosen once… and that truth holds fast And I’ve been waiting… for you to ask
