[Verse 1] You came in quiet, lion at your side No chain between you, no need to hide Your hand on his mane, your eyes level and clear You don’t conquer the wild; you make room for it here [Pre-Chorus] A soft word held against the roar A steady heart that asks for more [Chorus] Strength is the hand that doesn’t close The patient root beneath the rose Not force, not fear, not standing tall Just staying kind when the dark winds call [Verse 2] A white robe moving through the dust A wreath of leaves, a vow of trust The beast has teeth, the world has weight Still you meet the moment without hate [Chorus] Strength is the hand that doesn’t close The patient root beneath the rose Not force, not fear, not standing tall Just staying kind when the dark winds call [Instrumental Solo: blues guitar and organ] [Bridge] When anger rises, let it speak Then choose the gentle, choose the meek The lion sleeps, but does not fade A living fire, well-held, well-made [Final Chorus] Strength is the hand that doesn’t close The patient root beneath the rose Not force, not fear, not standing tall Just staying kind when the dark winds call [Outro] Your hand stays open, your gaze stays true The wild can breathe beside you
