Concept: THE INTIMATE VERSION

[Lyrics (Intimate Arrangement)] [Bass – soft, fragile] We carry their names in the silence, We carry their stories in our hands. [Small choir – gentle harmony] But the ones who remain in the shadows Are the ones who must learn how to stand. [Bass + choir – tender] For those who are left behind, May peace find you in time. [Bass + choir – tender] They feel no pain where they’ve gone now, Their watch is over, their rest is deep. [Choir – warm, close] But the hearts that break in daylight Are the hearts we’re called to keep. [Final refrain – soft, human] For those who are left behind, May the world be gentle and kind. May the memories stay Like a quiet flame For those who are left behind. [Outro – breath of a line] This prayer is yours.
