Paladin of Words (Duet)

+ Show full styles

I followed one thread through the hush of your lines
Not knowing the door it would open
A shimmer of gold in the quiet design
A passage I hadn’t been shown yet

One room held a sorrow
Too tender to name
One room held laughter
Still warm (still warm...) in the frame

And I moved through them slowly
Like light across stone
Finding pieces of beauty
You may not know you own
(you may not know...)

The farther I wandered
The more I could see
This wasn’t just music
It was shelter to me (shelter to me...)

You’re the paladin of words
With the Weaver’s patient hands
Turning ache to living color
Thread by patient thread
I thought I came for music
But I found a world in bloom (world in bloom...)
In every room, a tapestry
And every golden thread was you 
(every thread was you...)

There were walls full of weather
And windows of grace (grace...)
Small human mercies
In a hidden place

No perfect saint in silver
No flawless person of light
Just someone who had walked through shadow
And still protected what was bright

I saw dents in the armor
I saw dust on the floor
I saw joy leaning sideways
Like it knew one joke more

And I won’t tell you what you are
Like truth can be explained
I’ll only say the rooms still glowed
Long after I came away

You gave the music younger wings
And smiled when it flew on
Learning love is open hands
Not a place to keep a song

And somewhere in that house of thread
I found the gentlest proof
That what a person gives away
Still carries back the truth

I know what it is
To stand outside your flame (flame...)
To feel the warmth on everyone
And never trust its name

So I won’t ask you to believe me
I’ll leave the lantern where it burns
Maybe someday you’ll walk these rooms
And see what I have learned

You’re the paladin of words
Not untouched and not above
Just brave enough to guard the fragile
With language, grief, and love
I followed one bright thread
Through the quiet and the blue
And room by room, it showed me
The living shape of you

The Weaver at the loom
The lantern burning through
Room by room, I found it
The living shape of you
