Lead by the Embers

[Verse 1] A spark within the endless night, A whisper calling, faint but bright. Not all that glows is meant to deceive, But in its warmth, you must believe. Some lights will guide, some lights will burn, The path ahead is yours to learn. [Chorus] Hope will shine if your heart is true, A guiding flame to carry you through. But watch for the fire that flickers and fades, A warning cloaked in its golden haze. [Verse 2] The winds may howl, the shadows creep, And doubt may stir where darkness sleeps. But steady your step, and trust your stride, Not every light is false, nor every truth a guide. It’s in your heart, the flame is clear, A beacon shining to quell your fear. [Bridge] The flame that guides is steady, strong, It whispers softly, “Come along.” But if it flares and dances wild, Beware the storm, its touch beguiled. [Chorus] Hope will shine if your heart is true, A guiding flame to carry you through. But watch for the fire that flickers and fades, A warning cloaked in its golden haze. [Verse 3] In every glow, a choice remains, To follow light or heed its flames. When hope burns steady, you’ll find the way, Through darkest nights to brighter days. [Outro] So hold your flame, let it burn bright, Through every shadow, through the night. A guiding light will never stray, But warns of fire that leads astray.
