Light and Armor

Verse 1

Sunlight caught in tangled hair

Your laugh moves easy through the air

But in your eyes, a quiet stays

A guarded heart in hidden ways

Verse 2

You wear your armor close and tight

To keep the dark, to hold the light

But walls can’t cage what wants to breathe

The love you hide inside of me

⸻

Chorus (clear rhythmic anchor)

Lay your armor down tonight

Come and rest here in the light

Every crack lets mercy in

Love begins where you’ve been pinned

⸻

Verse 3

Beneath the calm, the current runs

A spark still burning, never done

No shield required when hands are kind

When hearts are met and unconfined

Pre-Chorus (short, lift)

No shadow stays where truth is near

Love finds the places shaped by fear

⸻

Chorus

Lay your armor down tonight

Come and rest here in the light

Every crack lets mercy in

Love begins where you’ve been pinned

⸻

Bridge (slower phrasing, breath space)

You don’t have to stand alone

Stone was never meant for bones

If you fall, I won’t retreat

I’ll match my breath to your heartbeat

⸻

Final Chorus (slightly altered last line)

Lay your armor down tonight

Let your laughter break the night

Every tear becomes a seam

Stitching you back into dreams

⸻

Coda / Outro (spoken or half-sung)

What you are has always been

A light the world is waiting in
