The Quiet Truth

Verse 1 There’s a path in the heather, carved by time Where the wind knows my name but never tells me why Old stones are listening, older than sin I step where the earth still remembers my skin Verse 2 I heard a tune in the turning leaves Not a promise, not a lie to believe Just a question carried on the wind Like water finding its way through land Pre-Chorus Every voice says “follow” Every silence says “choose” The truth is never handed to you It reveals itself when you let go Chorus If there’s a road made of knowing and doubt I’ll walk it slowly, I won’t rush it out What I’m seeking won’t shine or demand It waits like fire in the heart of the land Verse 3 The river hums a broken song Of all the battles that were never won I don’t ask it to carry me home I only ask it to leave me alone Bridge No crown of light, no final sign Just breath and shadows, fleeting time What rises fades, then slips away And teaches hearts to find their way Final Chorus If there’s a song beneath my feet It’s not for glory, it’s not for release I follow it not to understand But to stand still where I stand Outro (spoken or sung softly) And when the night lays down its claim I won’t curse it, I won’t pray I’ll listen close to the darkened ground For the quiet truth it never shouts
