One Spark

She walked past the edge, eyes to the floor

No one could see she was fighting a war

But you held the door, smiled her way

And that was enough to make her stay

We never know the weight we hold

With words we speak, or hands we fold

But light breaks through in quiet ways

And sometimes love is what we say

It only takes one spark to light the dark

One open heart, one simple start

A word, a hug, a glance that sees

The soul beneath the storm and grief

You might not know the lives you save

With the kindness that you gave

He sat on the curb, rain in his hands

Lost in a world that don’t understand

But you stopped and said, "You doing okay?"

And that question carried him through the day

We’re all a little broken, trying to cope

But hope can rise in whispers of hope

You don’t need answers, just to care

To prove to someone they’re still there

It only takes one spark to light the dark

One open heart, one simple start

A word, a hug, a glance that sees

The soul beneath the storm and grief

You might not know the lives you save

With the kindness that you gave

So don’t hold back, don’t hesitate

A little love can shift the weight

You don’t need wings to lift someone

Just the courage to not run

It only takes one spark to light the dark

One beating heart that leaves a mark

A laugh, a tear, a voice that stays

When silence tries to steal the days

You might not know the lives you save...

But someone breathes because you gave

Yeah, someone breathes because you stayed...

It only takes one spark
