“Twilight Son (Jack’s Song)”
Verse 1
September sky, the light leaning low,
Engines roared from a war long ago,
Fifty years in a flickering frame,
While you breathed through the fire and called out his name.
Clock hands trembling at half past five,
Between shadow and gold, he arrived,
Every heartbeat a whispered command,
You held the storm steady with a careful hand.
Pre-Chorus
Born where the daylight softens its claim,
Carrying order inside of the flame…
Chorus
Oh Jack, my twilight son,
You came when the day was done,
With eyes that measure the smallest part,
And a world that echoes inside your heart.
Busy soul, like a wheel that spins,
Feeling the weight of other skins,
Grace in your name, fire in your track,
The world got louder the day we met Jack.
Verse 2
You map the room with a quiet glance,
Every detail stands up and dances,
Threads of feeling you cannot ignore,
You hear what others never hear before.
But storms can gather behind your eyes,
Too much truth, too many whys,
A mind that sharp can cut too deep,
Even strong hearts need their sleep.
Pre-Chorus
Saturn’s rhythm in each careful move,
Learning the edges, what to prove…
Chorus
Oh Jack, my twilight son,
You race where the stillness runs,
Counting the cracks in a fragile day,
While carrying more than you ever say.
Tender hands in a restless world,
A steady mind, a banner unfurled,
Grace in your name, fire in your track,
The stars leaned closer the day came Jack.
Bridge
You were born to listen,
In the noise, in the breaks, in the spaces between,
Where love isn’t spoken but quietly seen.
And I remember the battle on the screen,
But the real fight was unseen,
In breath and courage and holding on tight,
You came through shadow into the light.
Final Chorus
Oh Jack, my twilight son,
You are the careful one,
Builder of meaning in grains of sand,
A healer’s heart in a restless hand.
Even when the world feels too exact,
And the weight comes heavy on your back,
Grace will find you, bring you back,
To the love that named you… Jack.
Outro
September fades but never forgets,
The evening sky where your story was set…
