Carrying Your Light Home

[Verse 1] The sun rises cold above the field. Your breath is soft against the metal. I am holding your hand in the grass. The silence of the morning is heavy. You are leaving this world behind. I promise I will stay right here. [Chorus] I will be the one who stands. I take the burden of your light. Forever in my hands you remain. Your peace is now my fire. I believe in the path you made. I will carry you home tonight. [Verse 2] The air is thick with the coming storm. I see the tower across the valley. You gave me everything you had. Now I walk the path alone. Your armor fits me like a prayer. I feel your heart inside my own. [Chorus] I will be the one who stands. I take the burden of your light. Forever in my hands you remain. Your peace is now my fire. I believe in the path you made. I will carry you home tonight. [Bridge] (The horns are calling my name) Let the drums wake the sleeping land. The crown is falling in the dirt. I strike the stone until it breaks. The queen will see the truth today. This is the end of the pain. [Chorus] I will be the one who stands. I take the burden of your light. Forever in my hands you remain. Your peace is now my fire. I believe in the path you made. I will carry you home tonight. [Outro] Rest now in the quiet earth. The victory is won. I hold the steel high for you. Forever. Just you and I. Rest now.

Lyrics

[Verse]
The frost has settled deep into the soil
The horizon bleeds a pale and frozen light
Your fingers twitch beneath the rusted iron
A quiet struggle in the tall brown weeds
The air is thick with things we never said
I grip your palm until my knuckles ache
The clock has stopped its ticking in the house
But the earth is moving underneath your back

[Chorus]
I will be the guard who never leaves the post
I take the weight of every falling star
While you are drifting past the edge of sight
I plant my boots into the freezing mud
The shadows lengthen out across the plain
But I am anchored to the spot you left

[Bridge]
The birds are frightened by the coming storm
They flee toward the valleys in the south
But I have built a fortress out of grief
A monument of bone and steady pulse
The seasons change their colors overhead
Yet I remain a stone within the stream

[Verse]
The metal cools as life begins to fade
Your lungs are resting from the heavy toil
The grass is folding over where we lay
A blanket for the spirit seeking rest
I told you I would never turn away
And now the wind is all that hears my voice
The golden field is turning into grey
But I am bound by what I swore to keep

[Chorus]
I will be the guard who never leaves the post
I take the weight of every falling star
While you are drifting past the edge of sight
I plant my boots into the freezing mud
The shadows lengthen out across the plain
But I am anchored to the spot you left

[Chorus]
I will be the guard who never leaves the post
I take the weight of every falling star
While you are drifting past the edge of sight
I plant my boots into the freezing mud
The shadows lengthen out across the plain
But I am anchored to the spot you left

“The lyrics were so moving, it felt like the song was written just for me! Which it was - my husband, who couldn't write lyrics if his life depended on it, generated it for me. So sweet!”
