I walked beneath a sky of stone, Through endless fields I walked alone. Every shadow at my side, Every place I had to hide. I kept a spark inside my hands, A little flame that still withstands. Through the cold, through endless night, I held on to a fading light. Sometimes through the silent air, I hear a voice, I know it’s there. A distant whisper calling me, “You’re not too late, just wait and see.” So I raise my eyes tonight, Even when I lose the light. All it takes is one small flame To make me rise and walk again. As long as there’s a light, I’ll find my way tonight. Even at the edge of the world, I’ll face the dawn, I won’t let go. As long as there’s a light, Burning somewhere in the night. I’ll cross the cold, I’ll cross the rain, And find my way to you again. I’ve watched the forests lose their green, Seen rivers flow where none had been. Seen flowers rise from broken stone, And learned that nothing dies alone. These scars are more than wounds I wear, They’re maps of every road I dared. A record of the storms I knew, And every time I made it through. So I raise my eyes tonight, Even when I lose the light. All it takes is one small flame To make me rise and walk again. As long as there’s a light, I’ll find my way tonight. Even at the edge of the world, I’ll face the dawn, I won’t let go. As long as there’s a light, Burning somewhere in the night. I’ll cross the cold, I’ll cross the rain, And find my way to you again. And if tomorrow starts again, I won’t ask how, I won’t ask when. I don’t need to know the end, I only need one step ahead. One step… Then another… As long as there’s a light, I’ll find my way tonight. Even at the edge of the world, I’ll face the dawn, I won’t let go. As long as there’s a light, I’m not afraid of what I’ll find. Beyond the dark, beyond the night, There’s always one more morning light. M I open my eyes. Warmth on my skin. I look for the ceiling… There isn’t one. A shoreline. A forest. The sun is rising for the first time. And somewhere beyond the trees… I smile. I’m alive.
