At night when the world goes quiet
And the air lays down its weight,
I go looking up for answers
In that old familiar space.
Stars like fragments of forever
Scatter stories overhead,
And I search those constellations
For the faces of the dead.
[Verse 2]
There’s a comfort in the darkness
Daylight never seems to hold,
Where the smallest spark still reaches
Across miles of the cold.
Some stars steady as the constants
My loved ones used to be,
Others flicker like their laughter
Fading slow inside of me.
[Chorus]
But every star is a promise
That the light we lose still stays.
What’s gone from here ain’t gone for good,
It just travels different ways.
So I keep looking to the heavens
’Cause I feel them in the haze —
The ones I loved still shining,
And their light never fades.
[Verse 3]
Shooting stars burn out too quickly,
Like the ones who left too soon;
They were bright as any sunrise,
Gone as fast as they bloomed.
But the trail they left behind them
Still carves fire through my chest,
And their brilliance, though it’s fleeting,
Outlasts every sunset.
[Chorus]
’Cause every star is a promise
That the light we lose still stays.
What’s gone from here ain’t gone for good,
It just travels different ways.
So I keep looking to the heavens
’Cause I feel them in the haze —
The ones I loved still shining,
And their light never fades.
[Bridge]
Grief can make the world feel smaller
Than a heartbeat held too tight,
But the sky says love grows bigger
When it disappears from sight.
I close my eyes and listen
As the whole damn cosmos hums —
And I swear I hear them whisper,
“Kid, we’re with you in the sun.”
[Final Chorus]
Yeah, every star is a promise
That the light we lose still stays.
What’s gone from here ain’t gone for good,
It just travels different ways.
So I keep searching through the darkness
For the echoes of their blaze —
The ones I loved still shining,
And their light never fades.
[Outro]
So I’ll keep looking upward,
Let the night become my guide —
’Cause somewhere in that endless map
Their love still burns alive.
