In Plain Sight

Verse 1
In the mirror, a stranger’s gaze appears
Reflections drift in a fog that wears my years
Once lively colors, now the world in gray
I’m roaming through the night, but I’ve lost my way

Pre-Chorus
Whispers of laughter Breathe through the silence
Fragments of me unravel, line by line

Chorus
I’m searching for a hand to hold, a spark to light inside
To feel again, to be seen, to stand where truth and courage ride
What is worth in the dark, when shadows steal the flame?
I long to be found, to belong, to call a brighter name

Verse 2
The world keeps spinning, a dizzying whirl
Yet I stand here, a fading pearl
Yearning for warmth in a cold heart’s night
Craving a connection, a touch that feels right

Pre-Chorus
What is the worth of a soul when the night devours air?
If I could find a place to land, would anyone be there?

Chorus
I’m searching for a hand to hold, a spark to light inside
To feel again, to be seen, to stand where truth and courage ride
What is worth in the dark, when shadows steal the flame?
I long to be found, to belong, to call a brighter name

Bridge
But in this search I breathe and wonder why
Is loss all I am, or wings ready to fly?
Within the ache, there’s a strength hidden somewhere
If I gather the pieces, I’ll rise from here

Chorus (final)
I’m gathering the pieces, the fragments of me
Trying to hold on, though they fade at the edge of memory
In this hollow space, I’m choosing to remain
To find my place, to find my voice, to rise again

Outro
The pieces drift like ash upon the breeze
Shadows gather where my name used to be…
