The Silence Between

Verse 1 Beauty felt in the vastness of the stars So far, but still they shine I reach for something I can't name While pretending I am fine Your eyes once held the knowing Now we speak without a sound I wonder if you're searching For what we never quite found Chorus How do we get past The wall of our silences? Where words have fallen short And time just drifts But even when the meaning Fades into what we miss You see me in the stillness And somehow, this is grace Recognized by you In the quiet place Verse 2 I used to think the knowing Would fix what broke in me But there's a deeper kind of healing In just letting things be We don’t speak of all the questions Or what we left behind But there's mercy in your presence And peace I never thought I’d find Chorus How do we get past The wall of our silences? Where the sky feels wide And we feel less But even when the meaning Slips like a fading kiss You see me in the stillness And somehow, this is grace Recognized by you In the quiet place Bridge (minimal instrumentation, intimate) No need for perfect answers No need to understand You never turned away You just stayed, you held my hand Final Chorus (gentle but full, harmony added) How do we get past The wall of our silences? Where the stars still burn But feel endless Even when the knowing Is lost in all of this You see me in the silence And love me through the space Recognized by you... In the quiet place Outro (whispered, fading) Recognized by you… In the quiet… In the silence between
