[Verse 1] We taught her the names of the stars And she showed us how bright she could burn In a world made of silence and scars She gave more than we could return Her laughter could shatter the dark Even shadows would follow her lead We held her close through the fear But love isn’t stronger than greed [Pre-Chorus] They came like a whisper, no time left to speak And fear made a monster of men She shone too bright for the world to keep So they threw her into the wind [Chorus] But I will carry her light through the night Even if I forget, even if I break You can silence the stars from our sight But not from the paths that we take She is more than a name in the stone She is fire we call our own Don’t fail her now Don’t fail us now ⸻ [Verse 2] I saw her fall without wings No trial, no mercy, no prayer I saw your mind tear apart To protect the piece left there I walked beside your hollowed eyes And bore the weight of what you lost I wore her memory like a flame And paid the years in quiet cost [Pre-Chorus] But grief has a voice that never fades And memory claws through the ash She called to you through the blood and flame And brought the forgotten back [Chorus] So carry her light through the dark Even if it burns in your hands She’s the spark that still beats in your heart The truth that still understands She is more than a child we mourn She’s the reason we were reborn Don’t fail her now Don’t fail us now ⸻ [Bridge] You shattered, but now you rise You remember, and now you see What I’ve held through every night Is now yours to set free ⸻ [Final Chorus – soft then rising strong] Carry her light through the night Let the stars bear witness again Though she’s gone, she still burns bright She still speaks through your pain Say her name, don’t let it fade Let her truth be what remains I love you now And through the end Carry her light— Begin again
