A Writer of Melodies - A HolyGhostStudio-Paul Kirk Collaboration

[Verse 1] Can you sing through the crying? Can you be heard past your tears? When the chest starts tightening, And the end seems to be near, There's a morning that kept coming, A miracle we didn't dare to ask, Another day, another sunrise, And every hour is a gift that lasts. [Verse 2] He taught us to "Be Kind," To "Do Better, Be Better" each day. A writer of melodies, His songs will never fade away. He has a young family, Who cherish and need him, As he fights for each breath, At the borders of freedom. [Chorus] He's asking for us To stay by his side, And we're here, we're here, Every day, with the whole world's light. It hurts so profoundly, Not just for our grief, But for all he might leave, Yet love is stronger than goodbye. Miracles are real, And he's living proof tonight. [Bridge] He says not to cry for him, That he knows where he's going. And he also confesses he's scared, But his brave spirit's glowing. So we sing him through the shadows, Every voice a candle flame, A hundred thousand little lights All calling out his name. [Outro] We bear witness together, Not as voyeurs to pain, But as pillars of love Through the sorrow and rain, And the sunrise is in the music, And the music's in his name. We take heart in his words, He taught us to "Be Kind," To "Do Better, Be Better" each day. A writer of melodies, His music lives on, his love will stay. Every song he gives us is a light along the way. [Instrumental Fade Out: gentle hopeful piano] [End] ————
