Lyric

I woke to the hush of a borrowed sky

The day wore silk and a crack of gold

I put my worries in a paperless wind

And let the heavy parts unfold

Your laugh was a bridge over restless years

A little warm fire in the ribs

We learned how to hold what the hour brings

By loosening all our grips

And if the road turns sharp

We bend, we bend

If the night gets long

We still ascend

Every scar a map

Every tear a thread

And the heart says, "Go on"

When the rest go dead

Hold me in the light

Hold me through the night

We are still alive

We are still alive

Hold me in the light

Hold me through the night

We are still alive

We are still alive

By the silver edge of an ordinary shift

I carried the weight in a quiet way

Stamped out the doubt with a patient breath

Let the small good things have their say

You sent me a smile from across the room

Like rain on a thirsty field

And every tired bone in my walking frame

Remembered how it heals

And if the road turns sharp

We bend, we bend

If the night gets long

We still ascend

Every scar a map

Every tear a thread

And the heart says, "Go on"

When the rest go dead

Hold me in the light

Hold me through the night

We are still alive

We are still alive

Hold me in the light

Hold me through the night

We are still alive

We are still alive

Let the hard years pass like weather

Let the old names lose their weight

We are not the ashes of the damage

We are the spark that learned to stay

For the ones just coming after

For the ones who still believe

May they find a door in every wall

May they find a song in every grief

Oh, oh

Keep the flame

Oh, oh

Say our name

Not in fear

Not in shame

We rise again

We rise again

Hold me in the light

Hold me through the night

We are still alive

We are still alive

Hold me in the light

Hold me through the night

We are still alive

We are still alive

And when the world goes quiet

Let the soul stay loud

One small heart, one shared horizon

One voice in a faithful crowd

Hold me in the light

Hold me through the night

We are still alive

We are still alive
