The room is almost silent
The city hums outside
You turn your phone face down
Let the messages pass by
Your thoughts are getting heavy
Like rain against the glass
You wonder if your tired heart
Will ever let this feeling pass
Softly, you are here
Breathing through the quiet fear
With all your little troubles
No one else can see
Softly, my dear
You are still here
And that alone is more
Than anyone could ask of you
No need to shine for anyone
No need to play a part
You do not have to edit
The shadows in your heart
The plans that fell to pieces
The words you could not say
They are scattered on the floor tonight
And that is all okay
Softly, you are here
Day by day, you persevere
With all your quiet battles
No one ever knew
Softly, my dear
You are still here
And that alone is more
Than anyone could ask of you
If you cannot love yourself tonight
It is alright, it is alright
Just rest the weight you always carry
Let it soften in the light
Softly, you are here
Even with your doubt and tears
You do not have to earn
The right to simply be
Softly, my dear
You are still here
And that alone is more
Than anyone could ask of you
Softly, you are here

Softly, You Are Here
Souta Yamazaki
"Softly, You Are Here" is a whisper-level soft pop ballad about the quiet courage of simply existing. With almost nothing but piano, voice, and room air, it wraps around the listener like a late-night blanket and gently says, "You do not have to shine to deserve to stay." This song is for anyone carrying invisible worries, needing a moment to breathe and remember that being here is already enough.
