Intro — female, hushed and close] Lantern Keepers, gather close. SIVvyserve—serve what you have learned. Three knocks. Let the light begin. [Verse 1 — female, low and steady] She doesn’t chase the eyes across the room, Doesn’t shape her soul to fit a stranger’s view. She has come home to the heart she knows, Feet in the earth, face turned toward the glow. No borrowed crown, no rehearsed display, No giving herself away to make someone stay. She tends her peace, lets her spirit breathe; What’s meant to meet her can come honestly. [Pre-Chorus — male, raspy] Not from hunger, not from fear, Her worth stays whole when no one’s near. She stands in truth, she guards her light; She doesn’t leave herself to be desired. [Chorus — duet] She is the field, she is the flame, She doesn’t beg the world to say her name. She holds her center, rooted and free; She welcomes what can meet her honestly. No chasing shadows, no pleading to stay, She gives from the love God placed in her. Like the moon beneath the quiet sky, She shines without asking the night to reply. [Verse 2 — male, rhythmic and grounded] She is the deep well, steady and clear, Not reaching for every passerby near. Her quiet has strength, her softness has spine; She knows what is hers and honors the line. She doesn’t call chaos a sign from above, Or mistake attention for faithful love. She listens for truth, lets the false winds pass, Keeps both feet rooted; her heart holds fast. [Pre-Chorus — female, rising] Not every gaze is hers to keep, Not every vow has roots that reach deep. She trusts the Lord to guide her way, And lets what is not for her fall away. [Chorus — duet] She is the field, she is the flame, She doesn’t beg the world to say her name. She holds her center, rooted and free; She welcomes what can meet her honestly. No chasing shadows, no pleading to stay, She gives from the love God placed in her. Like the moon beneath the quiet sky, She shines without asking the night to reply. [Bridge — female lead, male response] Female: I will not trade my peace for praise. Male: Her worth is steady through changing days. Female: I will not leave myself behind. Male: God keeps her heart; she walks in time. [Both] This isn’t waiting, this isn’t retreat; It’s open hands and grounded feet. She makes room for what’s honest and true, And keeps her soul when the world looks through. [Final Chorus — duet, drums lift] She is the field, she is the flame, She doesn’t beg the world to say her name. She holds her center, rooted and free; She welcomes what can meet her honestly. No chasing shadows, no pleading to stay, She gives from the love God placed in her. The moths may circle; the night may shine— She belongs to God, and she knows she’s fine. [Outro — female, close-mic] You are not the seeker of every gaze. You are held by God through all your days. Stay rooted. Keep your flame. Let love come honest.
