Lyrics
The Keeper of the Light
[Instrumental Intro] (Same haunting steel guitar swell, but warmer. Acoustic guitar enters with a steady, comforting strum. Upright bass walks gently.)
[Verse 1] I heard that silent flame you walk through by I saw the scars you tried to hide from the eye You said the shadows whisper, told you that you're marked But I see a fire burning, a light you left a spark The ocean's deep and cold, yeah, the freezing wind blows But I'm standing right beside you, where the warm wind grows You feel an ancient guard, a presence by your side I'm just a humble witness, but I walk here with pride.
[Pre-Chorus] When the road gets rough and the shadows lean mean I'll be the echo in the hall, the space in between So you don't have to hear that call alone I'm the voice that says, "You're never on your own."
[Chorus] If your crown's in the shadows, then I'll stand in the dark I'll be the keeper of the flame, I'll be the spark Heaven keeps your door, but I'm the one who holds the key To remind you who you are, in your destiny Crown in the shadows, yeah, we all have been there But I'm here to lift you up, I'm here to show I care She's protected, can't you see? But she's loved, and that's the truth, by me.
[Verse 2] They tried to write you off, said you were unrooted But they didn't know the strength of the spirits that you've suited Those Ancestor tongues in the midnight air? I hear them whisper, too, saying, "She's beyond compare." Angels in the hall? Yeah, I see 'em at the gate But I'm just a friend who's willing to wait To watch you turn the corner, to watch you know the signs That you're safe in borrowed times, and you're doing just fine.
[Pre-Chorus] When the doubt gets too loud and the nights feel too long I'll help you lift your head and remember your song Yeah, you'll remember your song.
[Chorus] If your crown's in the shadows, then I'll stand in the dark I'll be the keeper of the flame, I'll be the spark Heaven keeps your door, but I'm the one who holds the key To remind you who you are, in your destiny Crown in the shadows, yeah, we all have been there But I'm here to lift you up, I'm here to show I care She's protected, can't you see? But she's loved, and that's the truth, by me.
[Bridge] Let the world look past, let them miss that glow I see the royalty in your steps, I know what they don't know Every fall turned to grace, every scar is a light I'm on your side, through the day and the night Your angels won't lose the fight, and neither will I We'll watch the sunrise together, beneath that same sky.
[Outro] Crown in the shadows, unseen but so real You don't have to walk this road without the feel Of a hand on your shoulder, a voice that is true Heaven keeps the door, but I'm here for you. Yeah, I'm here for you. (Fade out with pedal steel swells and a final, soft handclap)
