# THE HAPPINESS THAT REMAINS [Verse 1] I see you, brother, tired from the road, carrying more than you should have to hold. I see you, sister, trying to be strong, wondering quietly where you belong. Take my hand. You are not alone. You don't have to carry everything on your own. [Pre-Chorus] Don't believe the names they gave you. Don't believe the price they put on you. You are more than flesh and bone, more than money, work, or what you own. Before you are anything, you are a beloved child of God. [Chorus] There is no fear when God fills your heart with light. There is no fear when you know you're held at night. We are His children, brothers and sisters beneath the same sky. We may fall, we may fail, but love will never leave us behind. This world is yours too. You don't have to beg for your life. Take my hand, I'll take yours. We'll walk together into the light. [Verse 2] Your life is a gift kept especially for you. There is a name inside your soul only the Father knows is true. Connect with your Creator. Remember who you are. You are not a number, not a label, not a scar. You are not your body. You are not your job. You are not your money, your house, or what you've lost. You are a beloved child of God. [Verse 3] You are the child of survivors, of people who carried the flame. They had tired hands and frightened hearts, but they brought you here just the same. Maybe they're watching from the light. Maybe they smile when they see you stand. Carry their courage forward. Carry their love in your hands. Don't dishonor those who came before you. Live so they could see you smile. [Chorus] There is no fear when God fills your heart with light. There is no fear when you know you're held at night. We are His children, brothers and sisters beneath the same sky. We may fall, we may fail, but love will never leave us behind. This world is yours too. You don't have to beg for your life. Take my hand, I'll take yours. We'll walk together into the light. [Bridge] We are only human. We fall. We fail. We learn. Fail fast. Learn fast. Get back up smiling. When you fall, the Father does not forget your name. When you wander, the door is still open. Come home, little one. No crown makes one child greater. No poverty makes another less. Before the Father, we are one. Love is the axis of the universe. Love is the way back home. [Final Chorus] So open your eyes and smile at the morning light. The world is a gift. The greatest gift. We are still here. We are still one. We are still His children. We will work. We will laugh. We will love. We will sing. And when one of us is hurting, love moves closer. [Outro] Take my hand. I'll take yours. No one walks alone. Walk in the light. Keep your heart clean. Don't be afraid. Open your eyes, little one. The morning is here. Smile. The happiness that remains is love.
