[Verse 1] Holding a heart full of darkness On the night I started walking alone Afraid I might break if I cried out loud I stayed silent in an empty alley Then across my shadow A quiet light appeared Someone seemed to come near without a word As if softly saying, “It’s okay” [Chorus] A single streetlight, a golden breath Like someone who had been waiting for me all along Without saying a word It shines on me and keeps me standing It’s only a light Yet somehow it seems to understand my tears Maybe it has been the friend Who watched over my heart the longest [Verse 2] The moon feels too far away And the stars seem much too small Between them stands a quiet lamp Holding my night in its gentle arms The trembling light beneath the wind Feels a little like my own heart And even its shaking becomes company Never once passing me by [Chorus] A single streetlight, a heart like a lantern Understanding me before I ever speak That quiet warmth Makes my shoulders feel lighter tonight Telling me I’ve done enough Telling me I’ve tried my best Without a single word At the edge of every sorrow It places a little hope in my hands [Bridge] When someone embraces a hurting heart Maybe it isn’t a loud voice at all Maybe it’s a quiet lantern Gently telling my imperfect day “You’re okay.” [Final Chorus] A single streetlight, comfort for my night A presence I pass every day yet cherish deeply I’ve learned that true brightness Isn’t brilliance But warmth that quietly stays Somewhere along the way I began looking for your light more than the stars above Without words We hold each other through the dark And that’s how we survive the night
