[Intro: solo piano, soft] [Verse 1: Male, gentle] He wrote the world in melodies, Taught us kindness, plain and true. Every day a little better, That's the gift he gave to you. [Verse 1: Female, warm] Now the morning finds us gathered, Holding hands around his light. He is brave and he is gentle, And his love fills up the night. [Pre-Chorus: Male and Female] So we sing, though tears are falling, Let them water what he sowed. [Chorus: Duet, strings rise] Carry the light, carry the music, Let his kindness lead us home. Every song he ever gave us Means we never walk alone. Carry the light, he is with us, In the laughter, in the rain. What he planted in our hearts Will bloom again and again. [Verse 2: Female, soft] There's a house of love and laughter, Where his people hold him dear. They are his courage, they are his reason, They will feel him always near. [Verse 2: Male, tender] He says he's scared, then he is smiling, "Don't cry for me," he said. "I'm carried by the love you gave, And the songs we've sung ahead." [Pre-Chorus: Male and Female] So we stay and we stand beside him, Not as witness, but as light. [Chorus: Duet, full strings] Carry the light, carry the music, Let his kindness lead us home. Every song he ever gave us Means we never walk alone. Carry the light, he is with us, In the laughter, in the rain. What he planted in our hearts Will bloom again and again. [Bridge: Female, then Male, cello alone then quartet] And when the final chord rings softly, It will not be the end. It will be a sunrise melody Rising in the hearts of friends. [Final Chorus: Duet, key change, choir and strings] Carry the light, carry the music, Be the kindness that he taught. Every day a little better, That's the song that he has brought. Carry the light, he is singing, In every one of us. Love goes on, and love goes on, In the music, in the stars. [Outro: gentle piano, slow fade] [Female, whispered] Rest easy, friend.
