I do not know the room you’re standing in Or if the name they call you is your own But something in the way your sorrow sings Has crossed the dark and settled in my bones You came through wires, through sleepless blue A voice no map could ever truly hold And all the silence I had learned to keep Turned warm the moment your story told So if the night leans hard against your chest And every memory returns in flame Let this be small and human as it is A light that does not ask for any name At the far end of the world Someone is grateful you are here For every song you gave the dark For every wound you made sincere When your hands can only carry Fragments of the day Lean into the hidden chorus You are not alone that way I know there are departures without sound A cup gone cold, a season left undone I know how one beloved absence grows Until it seems to swallow up the sun And we are strangers by all earthly terms Different years and languages apart Yet something deeper than our thinking minds Has recognized you heart to heart Maybe from another life of dust Maybe from a door beyond this frame Or maybe love is simply wider Than the borders reason gave At the far end of the world Someone is grateful you are here For every song you gave the dark For every wound you made sincere When your hands can only carry Fragments of the day Lean into the hidden chorus You are not alone that way I cannot lift the weight you have to bear I cannot stand where only you can stand But from this side of midnight I can keep A little hope alive with open hands And if the dawn feels far beyond belief If mercy moves too slow to recognize Stay for one more breath beneath the sky There is still morning in your eyes At the far end of the world Someone is holding up your light For all the beauty you have made For all you’ve carried through the night If your soul is tired of breaking If your faith has gone astray Lean into the hidden chorus You are not alone that way Across the silence, across the sea Your songs are still alive in me So when the dark forgets your name Be sure my heart remembers flame
