Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1 — Donna:] Hush now, little flame, don’t you fade on me, Soft as a breath in a memory. You were my light in the long, dark years, Now I’m standing here alone with my fears. Hush now, child, don’t you go, There’s still a home where the warm winds blow… Stay with me—please don’t leave— Don’t become what they can’t believe… [Verse 2 — Matthew:] Hush now, little flame… I remember that song, You sang it to me when the nights were long. But the fire you held… it burned too bright, And something in me… stepped into the night. I hear your voice like it’s calling me back, But the path I walk… is a broken track. If I turn around… I’ll only see A man they’ll never let me be. [Chorus — Donna:] Hush now, little flame—don’t you go, don’t you fade, Stay in the light that your mother made! Hold to the sound of my voice, don’t leave— Don’t become something I can’t believe! [Chorus — Matthew: (echoing, darker)] Hush now, little flame… let it fade, let it die, Some fires are meant for the endless sky. I hear your song… but I can’t stay— I have to walk this other way… [Bridge — Together, overlapping] Hush now… Little flame… Don’t go… Stay the same… [Their voices begin to overlap and fracture] [Donna:] Hush now— [Mathew:] I’m already gone— [Donna:] Little flame— [Mathew:] I can’t come home— [Final Chorus — Donna: breaking into echo] Hush now, little flame—please stay, please remain, You’re still my son in the light of your name— Don’t go… don’t fade… don’t leave me alone— [echoing, distant] Hush now… Little flame… [Outro — Matthew: echo becomes the lullaby itself] Hush now, little flame… (whispers overlapping) Hush now… little flame… (fading wind, distant wings) Hush now… (silence)
