Inherited Light

[Intro]
[Verse]
The gate is rusted tight
Beneath the fading light
The jasmine vines have grown
Across the weathered stone
I walk the winding path
Beyond the ocean's wrath
The salt is on my skin
Where do I begin?
[Pre-Chorus]
Chipped teacups on the sill
The air is ghosted still
I find the hidden key
She left it there for me
To open up the door
Like she did before
[Chorus]
Stitch the grief into the glow
Watch the heavy shadows go
I carry every spark
Through the lonely dark
The light is burning bright
In the middle of the night
I will guide the way
Until the break of day
[Verse]
Old music on the stand
Written by her hand
Pressed lavender inside
Where all the stories hide
She sang of rising tides
Where the spirit resides
Each note a steady prayer
Floating in the air
[Pre-Chorus]
Chipped teacups on the sill
The air is ghosted still
I find the hidden key
She left it there for me
To open up the door
Like she did before
[Chorus]
Stitch the grief into the glow
Watch the heavy shadows go
I carry every spark
Through the lonely dark
The light is burning bright
In the middle of the night
I will guide the way
Until the break of day
[Bridge]
She weathered every gale
When the sun was pale
She taught me how to stand
Upon this shifting sand
The lantern may be old
But the fire is gold
The garden starts to bloom
Inside this quiet room
[Chorus]
Stitch the grief into the glow
Watch the heavy shadows go
I carry every spark
Through the lonely dark
The light is burning bright
In the middle of the night
I will guide the way
Until the break of day
[Post-Chorus]
The light is mine
Across the line
The light is mine
Across the line
[Outro]
