Jenny’s New Horizon
by Robert Ramage
Spoken Intro (spoken, intimate — no beat or just a soft sustained note)
“I once knew someone who planned to end their life on a Tuesday night.
Everything felt final.
They decided to wait just one more day—no big reason… just one more sunrise.”
“That next day didn’t fix their life.
But it cracked the door.
A stranger said something kind.
A song came on at the right moment.
A tiny shift happened.”
“They’re still here now.
Not because life became perfect…
but because that one night didn’t get the last word.”
(music slowly fades in)
Verse 1 (the next day begins)
The next day didn’t fix her life
Didn’t chase the shadows away
But the air felt just a little lighter
When the morning found its way
A stranger’s words were small but steady
Like it mattered she stayed around
And a song played right on time
When her feet were still on the ground
Verse 2 (the shift)
Nothing changed in one heartbeat
No answers written in the sky
But the weight she carried loosened
Just enough to breathe and try
Life didn’t suddenly make sense
Didn’t promise smooth or fair
But the dark lost its final grip
When she realized someone cared
Chorus
That night didn’t get the last word
Didn’t get to decide her end
Life bent instead of breaking
When she stayed and let it bend
Sometimes all it takes is staying
When you don’t know where to begin
She’s still here now, still breathing
Because that night didn’t win
Verse 3 (connection)
She talked to someone who really listened
Didn’t try to fix the pain
Just stayed right there beside her
Let her feel human again
No promises about tomorrow
No claim it all works out
Just a little more strength than yesterday
And a quieter doubt
Verse 4 (grounded hope)
She still has days that feel heavy
Still wakes up with questions loud
But now she knows there’s a voice out there
That won’t let the dark talk her down
She’s learning how to take it slowly
Learning she doesn’t have to pretend
Some nights she just counts the blessings
Some days she just calls a friend
Bridge (lift without pressure)
You don’t have to see forever
You don’t have to be strong alone
Borrow light from someone near you
Until your own feels like home
Final Chorus
That night didn’t get the last word
This heart still has a say
The road is hard, the world can bruise
But morning finds a way
One more sunrise changed the picture
One more voice cut through the pain
Now there’s light on the edge of tomorrow
Jenny’s new horizon came
Outro
Not because life turned perfect
Not because the hurt was gone
But because she waited out the darkness
And chose to carry on
