My Anchor and My Compass

(Verse 1) Dark waves swallowed the light, everything fell, everything shattered. My heart cried in the silence of the night, no one heard, but the music lifted me up. (Verse 2) When the world broke, it remained, rhythm in my breath, melody in my mind. Step by step, the song rose, like a warm hand that held me tight. (Chorus) It was my anchor, it was my compass, when I was lost in the dark, it guided me. In the flow of chords, I found myself, it was my anchor, it was my compass. (Verse 3) Daylight traced the edges of shadows, slowly warmth melted the cold away. Steps grew lighter, voice grew stronger, the song lifted me into the sky’s embrace. (Bridge) And now when I look back, my voice rings free, bright once more. I know I will never be alone, when music helps me find my light, when the rhythm leads. (Chorus) It was my anchor, it was my compass, when I was lost in the dark, it guided me. In the flow of chords, I found myself, it was my anchor, it was my compass. (Outro) And still, when the wind rises, I let the music carry me, let it guide me. It was my anchor, it was my compass, it reminds me of my light, which carries me home.
