[Verse 1]
Seek the souls quite light
In the stillness
In the hush
Grief sits heavy on your chest
Every breath a fragile trust
Soft glow at the window
Name carved in your tongue
Talking to the quiet air
Like they’re only just gone
[Chorus]
There’s a light in the grief-shadow (mm, carry me)
Your soul’s love for those gone still flows
Let it lead you
Slow
To peace
Honor every thread that never leaves
Breathe hope in
Breathe hope in
‘Til the hurt folds into sleep
[Verse 2]
Empty chairs at the table
Cold cups
Dust in the seams
Their sweater on the back door hook
Still humming with old dreams
You touch it like a doorway
Between the “was” and “still”
Every tear that shakes you now
Shows how deep they’re living in you
Still
[Chorus]
There’s a light in the grief-shadow (oh, shine on me)
Your soul’s love for those gone still flows
Let it lead you
Slow
To peace
Honor every thread that never leaves
Breathe hope in
Breathe hope in
‘Til the hurt folds into sleep
[Bridge]
It’s not goodbye
It’s a longer kind of hello
Running quiet through your veins
In every place you go
[Chorus]
There’s a light in the grief-shadow (mm, let it be)
Your soul’s love for those gone still grows
Let it lead you
Slow
To peace
Honor every thread that never leaves
Breathe hope in
Breathe hope in
‘Til the dark learns how to breathe
