Light in the Quiet

I kept the letters in a drawer

The dust in the years

Held the small stubborn dreams

Through the doubt and the fear

Every cracked little road

Led me back to your light

And I learned how to bend

Without losing the fight

Now the silence feels different

It leans into grace

Like the past and the future

Are sharing the same place

So I'm grateful for the sorrow

Grateful for the rain

For the hands they held me steady

When I couldn't maintain

They say that I'm still here

Letting hope remain

In the heart of the storm

Is a soft living flame

There were winters I wandered, half a shadow, half a spark

Counting all of the endings by the weight in my heart

But the dawn kept returning for the bruises in the blue

And every broken horizon made a clearer view

Now I carry the echoes, but they don't drag me down

They sound like I'm now me turning into

So I'm grateful for the sorrow, grateful for the rain

For the hands that held me steady when I couldn't make my pain

Bittersweet, but I'm still here, letting hope remain

And the heart of the storm is a salt

Live in flame

If the road disappears

I′ll still follow the glue

There's a light in the quiet

That only we know

From the ache came the answer, from the loss came the song

And the pieces I feared were the reason time's strong

So I′m grateful for the sorrow

Grateful for the rain

For the hands that held me steady when I couldn't name the pain

Bittersweet but I′m still here

Letting hope remain

When the heart of the storm is a soft winter

So I'm grateful for the sorrow

Gratefull for the rain

For the love that kept on calling when I almost walked away

Bitter soon, but I'm still here, and I won't be ashamed

I can carry both the sorrow and the brighter day
