Prompt / Lyrics
There’s a quiet in the hallway tonight Like the world’s holding its breath A tiny pair of shoes by the door Never got to take first steps Dreams painted all in gray and white Whispered secrets in the air But the silence answered back too soon Now Mom is knocking on heaven’s door With a love she can’t pour out anymore Saying, “Baby, I was ready for you” But goodbye came before hello ever could And the angels, do they know your name? Did they hold you when you slipped away? She’s calling through the great unknown “I’ll meet you somehow… you’re not alone” There’s a lullaby she never sang Still caught inside her throat Every note a shattered dream Every word she never spoke She traces circles on her skin Where life once softly grew Now she’s learning how to live again With a piece gone she never knew The clock keeps ticking, cold and slow But time won’t heal; what it doesn’t know Now she’s knocking on heaven’s door With a love she can’t pour out anymore Saying, “Baby, I was ready for you” But goodbye came before hello ever could And the angels, do they know your name? Did they hold you when you slipped away? She’s calling through the great unknown “I’ll meet you somehow… you’re not alone” If there’s a place where lost things go Where broken hearts can finally know Then save a light, keep it warm Until she finds her way through the storm She’ll bring the stories, the lullabies The kisses saved, the endless nights Oh, she’ll be there… she swears she will Still knocking on heaven’s door With a love that lives forevermore Saying, “Baby, I’m coming to you” Where goodbye turns into hello for good And the angels will announce your name As she holds you just the same No more silence, no more loneliness I’m finally home… you’re finally in my arms Before hello… there was love And after goodbye… there’s still love
