There’s a light out on the edge of the shore
Cuts through the dark like it’s done before
Guidin’ lost souls through the night
Never asks who’s keepin’ it alight
Waves keep crashin’, wind won’t slow
Still it stands where no one goes
Everybody trusts that beam
But no one sees what it’s been through
⸻
Verse 2
There’s a bridge stretched over doubt
People cross, don’t think about
Every step they safely take
Rests on cracks it has to fake
Steel and stone don’t show the strain
Holdin’ firm through weight and rain
But every load it takes inside
Leaves a mark it has to hide
⸻
Pre-Chorus
Yeah it’s strong, yeah it stands
But it’s built on shifting sand
⸻
Chorus
Who holds the line when the line gets thin
Who lifts the weight when it all caves in
We all lean on somethin’ just to stand
Even the strong need a hand
You can shine like you’ve got nothin’ to lose
Be the one everybody turns to
But somewhere in the silent night
Who’s holdin’ up the light?
⸻
Verse 3
There’s a voice that never breaks
Speaks the truth no matter what it takes
Tells the lost which way to go
Even when it don’t know
Carries answers, calm and clear
Cuts through doubt, erases fear
But every word it gives away
Takes a little more each day
⸻
Verse 4
There’s a hand that pulls you through
When you don’t know what to do
Steady when the ground gives in
Strong enough to carry you again
But even hands that never shake
Feel the pressure, start to break
Holdin’ on for someone else
While they’re losin’ grip themselves
⸻
Bridge
Maybe we’re all just passin’ it on
Holdin’ each other when the strength is gone
No one’s built to stand alone
Even pillars need a stone
⸻
Breakdown (slow / heavy)
Lights burn out, bridges bend
Voices crack in the end
But if we fall, we fall as one
Not alone when the damage is done
⸻
Final Chorus (bigger)
Who holds the line when the line gets thin
Who lifts the weight when it all caves in
We all lean on somethin’ just to stand
Even the strong need a hand
You can shine like you’ve got nothin’ to lose
Be the one everybody turns to
But somewhere in the silent night
Who’s holdin’ up the light?
⸻
Outro (soft / stripped down)
If the light goes dark, if the line gives way
If the strong don’t know if they can stay
Just remember what we never say—
Even the strong… might need a therapist
