Lucie holds the night upright In her eyes, soft beacon light When doubt slams the street's last door Her voice finds the unknown shore [Verse 1] In the room with walls too white She walks in with quiet feet As if air weighed less, grew light When her phrases slide, discreet She speaks simple, speaks it clear With no promise that will sway But her calm is ocean here Where the fear starts to give way [Chorus] Lucie keeps the helm straight When the wind hits the shore Lucie shows the next gate When fear grips to the core Lucie speaks, plays no game The road takes form once more Lucie tends every flame That fights off death's cold door [Verse 2] She looks facts right in the eye No detour and no charade But her words still let slip by Sunlight on the stone facade She won't sell illusion's gold Nor a miracle parade But her strength's a fortress hold When fear strikes like a grenade [Chorus] Lucie keeps the helm straight When the wind hits the shore Lucie shows the next gate When fear grips to the core Lucie speaks, plays no game The road takes form once more Lucie tends every flame That fights off death's cold door [Bridge] All it takes is one phrase To widen out the night When her voice unfolds wide Even the shadows breathe [Verse 3] And we leave a bit more straight From these rooms, so frail, so thin As if hope, at times, took weight And took shape in Lucie's skin She won't chase the winter's gray But she shows a way right through Her calm holds the sea at bay When our strength is black and blue [Final Chorus] Lucie keeps the helm straight When the wind hits the shore Lucie shows the next gate When fear grips to the core Lucie speaks, plays no game The road takes form once more Lucie guards every flame That fights off death's cold door
