Lyric

When I was lost in the darkest night

With nowhere to run, no strength to fight

A stranger came and took my hand

No name, no past, just helped me stand

With just one word and a tender smile

They stayed with me for just a while

Then quietly, they walked away

But left these words with me that day

“If you find your way somehow

Through all the pain you're facing now”

“When you rise, when you’re free

Be the light for someone in need

Even small hands can change a life

In the middle of the deepest night

You’re not as weak as you believe

There’s more inside than you can see

So when the world feels cold and dark

Be the warmth, be the spark”

Alone, I fought and felt so small

Like I was nothing there at all

I couldn’t see what I could do

Forgot the strength I always knew

The silent pain I couldn’t share

Was more than I could ever bear

We hide behind “we’re doing fine”

While turning from the fragile signs

But deep inside, I still recall

A hand that reached when I would fall

So I’ll rise, I will be

Someone’s light in their time of need

Even small hands can change a life

In the middle of the deepest night

I’m stronger now because I see

The kindness someone gave to me

And I won’t let that memory fade

I’ll pass along the love they gave

They might say it’s just pretend

Call it fake or just a trend

But they don’t know the way it feels

When a broken heart begins to heal

If you’ve been saved, you understand

The quiet power of a hand

And once you’ve felt that gentle grace

You’ll never turn your eyes away

We will rise, we will be

Lights for those who cannot see

Every touch, every care

Builds a world that we can share

And the more we choose to give

The more this fragile hope will live

A chain of hearts that won’t be torn

A brighter world is slowly born

That gentle light still shines in me

And someday, someone else will see

A simple act, a helping hand

Can change a life… like you once did
