Prompt / Lyrics
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…
