Lyrics

Verse 1
I was drifting in the dark, no stars, no sound
Just a tenant in my own life, just a ghost in this town
Years bled together in a blur of gray
Chasing shadows just to watch them fade away

Pre-Chorus
Then you let out a cry and the world stood still
All the pain I had carried just vanished until
I felt love like lightning breaking the sky
As I held you for the first time

Chorus
I can feel it coming back again
Like a prayer carried on the wind
Every scar, every fall, every night I bled
Led me here to this life, to this love instead
You were the light I saw
The voice I heard through it all

Verse 2
It all shut down, we were in disguise
Fear in the streets, smoke in the skies
The world lost its mind when you were born
Shelves were empty and savings were torn
We were finding our rhythm as you came to me
When hope was rare and peace wasn’t free
You were the light when the world was on fire
And I held you tight when the nights turned dire

Bridge
There were demons at the gate and the weight was real
I kept my hands strong on the wheel
I didn’t drink, didn’t fold, didn’t come undone
I stood in the fire ’cause I had to be the one

Chorus 2
I can feel the fire burn again
Like a flood of breath beneath my chest
Every scar, every fall, every night I bled
Led me here to this life, to this love instead
You were the light at the end of the war
You were the grace I was dying for

Verse 3
I was a wandering soul, broken and blind
But you gave me purpose one breath at a time
We were learning to crawl, just you and me
And your light pulled me out and to my feet

Final Chorus
I can feel it rising deep within
Like a storm I endured, now I breathe it in
Every hit, every trial, every tear I’ve shed
Built this fire, lit this path, raised me up from the dead
You were the grace I was dying for
And I’ve never felt stronger before
No, I’ve never felt stronger before
