Measured Skies

Verse 1 The wind carries rumors faster than truth Flames on the horizon, hope in its youth I have seen how quickly bright things fall How faith can stumble, how empires stall I do not speak to silence your flame Nor to burden you with doubt or blame But the world is older than reckless fire And wisdom tempers bold desire Pre-Chorus Every legend casts a shadow long Every promise must be strong Chorus So walk your path, but walk it wise The future rests in measured skies Courage is noble, but heed the cost For even heroes can become lost I stand beside you, not in fear But guarding all we hold most dear Verse 2 I have watched kingdoms rise and break On choices made for glory’s sake Not every roar demands a blade Not every threat is best displayed You carry hope in fragile hands A spark that few can understand But sparks can warm or raze the plain And I would spare us needless pain Pre-Chorus If I should question, let it be For love of what we strive to see Chorus So walk your path, but walk it wise The future rests in measured skies Courage is noble, but weigh the flame Before the world must bear its name I lend my voice, I lend my sight To help you guide that rising light Bridge No chain, no command, no hidden design Only a duty I claim as mine To think beyond the moment’s call To see the cracks before they fall If caution seems a colder art It springs from care, not hardened heart Final Chorus So rise and seek what you believe Let none say you were naive But let your strength be tempered steel Not just the rush of what you feel I walk beside you, steady, true Because the world depends on you And if the sky should darken wide I will remain here at your side.
