[Verse 1] She sat alone by candle’s glow, The night pressed close, but soft and slow, A cup of calm, her hands did hold, In rooms where silence whispered gold. [Verse 2] The world outside was harsh and wide, But here, no need to run or hide, Her breath was all she had to keep, She sipped the light and longed for sleep. [Chorus] Oh rest ye heart, ye weary soul, The fire is warm, the night is whole, You need not fix, you need not fight, Just lie beneath the lantern light. [Break Instrumental] [Verse 3] She bore the weight of words unsaid, Of broken vows and tears she bled, But still she stayed, and still she burned, A quiet flame, so deeply earned. [Verse 4] No one may hear the cry she hides, The rage that rolls like midnight tides, But in this room, with breath and tea, She claims a piece of dignity. [Chorus] Oh rest ye heart, ye weary soul, The fire is warm, the night is whole, You need not prove, you need not shine, You’ve made it through, and that is mine. [Outro] So hush the winds, and close your eyes, You’ve weathered storms and bitter skies, Now let the dark be kind and deep— She’s earned the right to fall asleep.
