Hearthfire’s Call

Verse 1
A crackle of wood, sparks burn bright
Shadows dance in the warm firelight
Quiet laughter fills the room
Shared relief begins to bloom
No one asks where we have been
The circle opens, invited in
We hold the warmth for the lost
And never name the silent cost

Pre-Chorus
Music softly starts and swells,
Voices raise in rhythm spells,
Heartbeats follow to the door,
As the song begins once more.

Chorus 1
Around the hearth we gather, around the flames we laugh —
Our voices swell, our hands reach out, and hearts embrace at last.

Verse 2
Footsteps ring in the night,
The flame’s warmth reaches out.
New friends drawn by the light,
Laughter replacing doubt.
The door swings wide, the embers breathe
The light flares into form
Embrace within the welcome weave,
As friendships new are born.

Chorus 2
Around the hearth we welcome, around the food we share
Our voices swell, our hearts embrace, warmth within the air.

Bridge
One by one, the hearth-fires spread, the song reaches far and wide.
The shadows part where light has led, and voices no longer hide.

Chorus 2
Around the hearth we welcome, around the food we share
Our voices swell, our hearts embrace, warmth within the air.

Outro
Gold light touching weathered stone, the touch of warmth embracing all.
Embers whisper, “stay or roam”,
the hearth continues its quiet call.
Through dawn’s first kiss to ember’s fall.
