One Light Forever Fear came in quiet Sat by the door I saw it look at you Like it been here before You ain’t have to say it I already knew I saw it Darkness don’t knock It just changes the room Lights stay on But they don’t feel like they used to You smiled real small Like you had to Laugh a second too long Then looked past me I ain’t say nothin’ I just saw it Seat still warm Where peace used to sit Somebody taught you Love comes with a switch On when you’re easy Off when you’re not I know that lesson I know that spot Yeah They told you healing Needed four cold walls No hand in yours No voice in the hall They called it strength When the room went dead Called it peace When nobody said Don’t go Don’t go One light forever Low in the window One hand steady When the cold winds blow Love is the weapon But it don’t need noise It just stays When fear loses voice One light forever I see it on you Even when the whole room Turns dark blue You don’t walk alone Not tonight One light forever Still burns right Every time I turn around Something shifted Cup on the table Air got different Your coat on the chair But you weren’t there Not all the way Not like before I heard that silence Learning my name I watched trust thinning Slow like rain Nobody shouted Nobody swung But something got older While we were young Funny how they call it help When they leave you by yourself Funny how they call it growth When they cut away the rope I noticed They said solace Needs an empty bed Said serenity Means words unsaid But I seen lonely Wear a holy mask Seen hurt people Hand hurt back Don’t go Don’t go One light forever Low in the window One hand steady When the cold winds blow Love is the weapon But it don’t need noise It just stays When fear loses voice One light forever I see it on you Even when the whole room Turns dark blue You don’t walk alone Not tonight One light forever Still burns right I ain’t leave There was a moment I could feel it go Not a door slam Not a broken phone Just your eyes Doing math in the dark Like love was debt Like hope was hard I ain’t mad I ain’t loud I just stayed Feet on ground If I’m the candle In that wind Then let it hit me I’ll stand again Still here They can call it healing When they split us apart They can call it wisdom When it hardens the heart They can dress up fear Like it came from light But I know the weight Of a lie dressed white They wanted us quiet They wanted us cold Wanted two live hearts Acting old Wanted distance Dressed like grace Wanted love To lose its place There’s something higher But it don’t brag It don’t pose It don’t wave no flag It sits real close When the room feels wrong Keeps one light Barely on You can search the whole earth For what never left It was under the breath It was warm in the chest It was there in the pause When the joke went long It was there when the room Changed after the song One light forever Low in the window One hand steady When the cold winds blow Love is the weapon But it don’t need noise It just stays When fear loses voice One light forever I see it on you Even when the whole room Turns dark blue You don’t walk alone Not tonight One light forever Still burns right I pray you help me make this Not loud Just true No one else I’m asking No one else But you Fear was darkness That learned our names Love stayed quiet And still remained They told you alone Was the holy way I watched that lie Take shape in the day I ain’t fight it loud I ain’t make a scene I just kept one light Where you could see One light forever Seat still warm I ain’t say nothin’ I just saw it Still burns
