Searching For A Hand To Hold

Verse 1

In the mirror, a stranger’s gaze appears

Reflections drift in a fog that wears my years

Once lively colors, now the world in gray

I’m roaming through the night, but I’ve lost my way

Pre-Chorus

Whispers of laughter Breathe through the silence

Fragments of me unravel, line by line

Chorus

I’m searching for a hand to hold, a spark to light inside

To feel again, to be seen, to stand where truth and courage ride

What is worth in the dark, when shadows steal the flame?

I long to be found, to belong, to call a brighter name

Verse 2

The world keeps spinning, a dizzying whirl

Yet I stand here, a fading pearl

Yearning for warmth in a cold heart’s night

Craving a connection, a touch that feels right

Pre-Chorus

What is the worth of a soul when the night devours air?

If I could find a place to land, would anyone be there?

Chorus

I’m searching for a hand to hold, a spark to light inside

To feel again, to be seen, to stand where truth and courage ride

What is worth in the dark, when shadows steal the flame?

I long to be found, to belong, to call a brighter name

Bridge

But in this search I breathe and wonder why

Is loss all I am, or wings ready to fly? [geese honking]

Within the ache, there’s a strength hidden somewhere

If I gather the pieces, I’ll rise from here

Chorus (final)

I’m gathering the pieces, the fragments of me

Trying to hold on, though they fade at the edge of memory

In this hollow space, I’m choosing to remain

To find my place, to find my voice, to rise again

Outro

The pieces drift like ash upon the breeze

Shadows gather where my name used to be

In this hollow existence, I linger and pine

For in losing myself, I’ve lost all that’s mine
