Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Before the walls and the warnings Before the names and the blame There was a breath in the darkness There was a spark in the clay And every mother and mystic Every fire, every road Tried to tell us through the centuries We were never here alone [Pre-Chorus] But we scare easy We forget fast Turn our pain into a kingdom Try to make it last [Chorus] The oldest thing we know is love The oldest lie is we’re apart Every holy song kept reaching For the same unfinished heart You do not win by growing colder You do not heal by closing up The only way through all this darkness Is to stay soft and brave enough To tell the truth To choose the light To see yourself in someone else tonight [Verse 2] We made gods out of being certain Built our thrones out of being right Wore our wounds just like armor In the middle of the night But power never made us holy And fear never made us strong What saves a life is mercy moving When the world says don’t belong [Pre-Chorus] What if all the signs and stories All the breaking, all the flame Were just hands inside the darkness Trying to point us home again [Chorus] The oldest thing we know is love The oldest lie is we’re apart Every broken scripture reaching For the same unfinished heart You do not win by standing over You do not heal by crushing through The only way through all this sorrow Is to stay soft enough for truth To choose the light To bear the cost To love again after all we’ve lost [Bridge] Be humble like the water Be steady as the sun Lay down the need to conquer Let your heart become undone See the stranger as your mirror See the wound beneath the rage We were never meant for empire We were made to light the way [Final Chorus] The oldest thing we know is love The oldest lie is we’re alone Every century has whispered it In flesh and dust and stone So lay your fear down gently Let your guarded spirit move We were never meant to conquer We were always meant to love To choose the light To hold the line To leave this world more whole than when we arrived [Outro] And if there is a kingdom And if there is a road through It lives wherever one heart chooses To stay soft and tell the truth
