She Carries Light
Verse 1
Four girls and a brother under one worn roof
A father's hands dealt out the proof
That love could cut as deep as stone
But somehow she was left alone
He called her Pumpkin, soft and sweet
Called her Porcupine when feelings leaked
She didn't know which one was true
Just loved him like daughters do
Chorus
She's been gathering what the wind blew apart
Stitching together a patchwork heart
Reaching for sisters, reaching for kin
Love keeps on winning again and again
Still standing, still hoping, still holding the thread
Still alive in the love that was never quite said
Verse 2
She became the hands that held them all
Caught every one before the fall
But one by one they drifted wide
She kept the light on, kept love alive
Set the table, made the room
Believed in what family could still become
They loved her back — she knew that was true
Some people just love you the best that they can do
Chorus
Bridge
She never stopped reaching
Never let go
Some people are made
Just to help love grow
Verse 3
Then a man looked her way and what did he see
A firefly shining wild and free
Blue eyes carrying God's own light
Cutting straight through his darkened night
She lit up something he'd forgot
Showed him love was more than he thought
He tries to give back what she gave
With help from God and a heart that's changed
Final Chorus
She's still gathering what the wind blew apart
Still carrying light in a patchwork heart
Reaching for something she's always known
Nobody who loves like this ever stands alone
Still standing, still hoping, still holding
Outro
He calls her Firefly
Says she shines God's light through those blue eyes
Lit up something in him he thought was gone
And she's still shining
She's still here
