Cancer - Soft Light, Strong Heart

[Verse 1] Porch light through moth wings, kettle breathing slow Some rooms take more than they return Some group chats glow like a drain in the dark You laugh, you carry, you pour from the brim Then wonder why your ribs feel thin You can want to be held without becoming everybody's harbor [Refrain] Soft light, strong heart Soft light, strong heart [Verse 2] Then it turns gentle in a different way A friend brings tea without questions A nurse-station glow becomes a prayer Chosen family makes a circle of breath You let the ache have a chair at the table Support is not a debt It can arrive and stay [Chorus] Soft light, strong heart Leave the lamp on for yourself Soft light, strong heart Tender doesn't mean without a boundary Care comes back when you make room for it [Interlude] Old photos. Rain on glass. [Verse] Quieter medicine now Clean sheets, slower mornings, muted phone A dream you actually write down Body maintenance instead of brave performance You do not vanish when you rest [Final Chorus] Soft light, strong heart Now the porch light points both ways Soft light, strong heart You can love deep and still keep your shape The night gets kinder when you honor your own name [Whispered Outro] Leave the light on. For you.
