Shadows and Light

5/7/2025Aria v1
[Intro] [Verse 1] An empty room, a ticking clock’s sigh, Whispers echo where the laughter once lied. Silent nights trace the lines on my palm, A candle flickers, but it burns like a psalm. [Chorus] Oh, shadows cling, but the dawn pulls me close, Through the cracks in my soul, a soft light grows. Sing it loud, let the lost find their choir, From the ashes of silence, we’ll rise like a fire. [Verse 2] Scars map the roads where I wandered alone, Each step a question, each stumble a stone. But the wind carries hymns from a past I once knew, A hand in the darkness—it’s reaching for you. [Chorus] Oh, shadows cling, but the dawn pulls me close, Through the cracks in my soul, a soft light grows. Sing it loud, let the lost find their choir, From the ashes of silence, we’ll rise like a fire. [Bridge] The night may be long, but the stars don’t forget, Every tear that falls is a prayer unanswered yet. Wrap your wounds in the grace of the morning’s first hue, Redemption’s a melody—we’re learning to tune. [Chorus] Oh, shadows cling, but the dawn pulls me close, Through the cracks in my soul, a soft light grows. Sing it loud, let the lost find their choir, From the ashes of silence, we’ll rise like a fire. [Outro]
