[VERSE 1 — MALE] The morning hum is trembling through the floor, We trace our lives in dust upon the door. Little echoes of the days we’ve left behind, Soft reminders of the things we never mind. [VERSE 1 — FEMALE] Your quiet smile still lingers in the air, A gentle proof that something real was there. We hold these moments like a fragile thread, A whispered memory of the words we never said. [CHORUS — BOTH] We were here, in the quiet ways the world remembers, In the warmth of fading embers, In the footprints on the stone. We were here, in the softest light of passing seasons, In the smallest, truest reasons That we never walk alone. [VERSE 2 — FEMALE] The kettle sings the song of yesterday, The window breathes as shadows slip away. We gather seconds like they’re falling leaves, Pressed between the pages of the lives we weave. [VERSE 2 — MALE] And though the world keeps spinning far too fast, We anchor moments hoping they will last. Your hand in mine becomes a gentle mark, A lantern glowing softly in the dark. [CHORUS — BOTH] We were here, in the quiet ways the world remembers, In the warmth of fading embers, In the footprints on the stone. We were here, in the softest light of passing seasons, In the smallest, truest reasons That we never walk alone. [BRIDGE — CHANT (CALL + RESPONSE → UNISON) FEMALE (call)] Ohhh, hold on to the little things, The ones that never fade. [MALE (response)] Ohhh, the echoes of our laughter In the memories we made. [TOGETHER (chant)] We were here, we were here, In the moments softly spoken. We were here, we were here, In the pieces left unbroken. [UNISON (soft)] Ohhh, hold on to the little things, The ones that never fade. [FINAL CHORUS — BOTH (soaring)] We were here, in the quiet ways the world remembers, In the warmth of fading embers, In the footprints on the stone. We were here, in the softest light of passing seasons, In the smallest, truest reasons That we never walk alone. [OUTRO — BOTH (whispered)] We were here… We were here…
