Verse 1
Last night the rain was talking,
saying things I didn't want to hear.
I stayed up watching shadows
move like ghosts across the year.

Pre-chorus
But morning has a kindness
no storm can take away —

Chorus
There's light through the window,
soft and slow and true.
Light through the window,
that's how I'll find you.
Even when the dark says
hold on, hold on tight,
there's light through the window,
and we'll be alright.

Verse 2
The clock kept its promises,
the floorboards held their place.
Tomorrow showed up early
with the sun across my face.

Bridge
Every brave thing starts small —
a window, a sun, a breath, a fall.

Verse 1
The kettle's almost boiling,
the song is almost done.
I know you've got tomorrow
to chase before the sun.

Pre-chorus
But Tuesday won't remember
the rush of getting through —

Chorus
Stay a little longer,
the world can wait its turn.
Stay a little longer,
there's still so much to learn —
about your laugh, your quiet,
the way you say my name.
Stay a little longer,
nothing's quite the same.

Verse 2
The candle's halfway over,
the rain has lost its rage.
Every clock is older
but love forgets its age.

Bridge
I'll meet you in the morning,
just give me one more song.

Verse 1
Some are written in the doorways,
some in stones beside the sea.
Some live only in a chorus
my grandmother sang to me.

Pre-chorus
We don't lose them all the way —
we carry them like light...

Chorus
Names we carry, names we whisper,
names we keep when we get tired.
Names that come back in the kitchen,
in the quiet, in the fire.
Some of them have gone before us,
some are sitting in the room.
Names we carry, names we whisper —
they bloom and bloom and bloom.

Verse 2
There's a coat I never gave back,
there's a letter I still read.
There's a chair beside the window
where she taught me how to breathe.

Bridge
What we love, we don't let go —
we just learn another way to hold.

Verse 1
You don't have to wear your armor,
you don't have to know the words.
There's a chair, there's a kettle,
there's a couch for tired birds.

Pre-chorus
Tell me everything or nothing —
I'm not keeping any score...

Chorus
I'll be your soft place to land,
your every-Thursday, your back-of-the-hand.
I'll be your soft place to land,
the friend who shows up, the friend who stands.
When the day has been a long one,
when you've held it all in your hand —
come on in, leave your shoes here,
I'll be your soft place to land.

Verse 2
The world is loud and stubborn,
people don't always stay.
But the porch light's always burning,
no matter how late the day.

Bridge
Bring your heavy, bring your broken —
I'll meet you where you are.

Verse 1
Started with a notebook
and a borrowed kind of will.
Half the page was empty,
half the dream was still.

Pre-chorus
Nobody tells you starting
is the loudest part of all —

Chorus
You don't have to be ready,
you just have to be brave enough to build.
Brick by stubborn brick, you steady —
all the empty rooms get filled.
There will be days you doubt it,
nights the candle nearly spilled —
but you don't have to be ready,
you just have to be brave enough to build.

Verse 2
Maps don't draw the long road,
they only show the start.
But every step you take here
is a vote your hands can chart.

Bridge
If the noise gets to your shoulders,
lay it down, then lift it up.
You were never asked to finish —
just to keep the candle lit.

Verse 1
The sky forgot to color in the morning,
left it grey and quiet, holding still.
I watched the world keep turning
like nothing was wrong, like nothing could feel.

Pre-chorus
Some days the sun just doesn't find its way,
some days the silence has too much to say.

Chorus
The sky forgot us today,
but we are still here, still real, still loved.
The sky forgot us today,
and tomorrow it will remember everything we are.

Verse 2
You don't have to be seen to matter,
you don't have to be loud to count.
Some of the brightest things in this world
are the ones nobody's found.

Bridge
And when the clouds finally part,
they'll find us standing where we started —
softer, stronger, still ourselves.

Chorus (reprise)
The sky forgot us today,
but we are still here, still soft, still strong.
The sky forgot us today,
and tomorrow it will sing our song.

Outro
We'll be ready.
We'll be ready.
We'll be here.
