[Intro — heartbeat, then a single piano note, held]
This one's for everybody...
The ones fighting...
And the ones fighting to hold it together...

[Verse 1 — The Patient]
You didn't choose this battlefield
But here you are, standing still
With a body that's betraying you
And a spirit that refuses to yield
The needles and the waiting rooms
The numbers that the doctors read
You smile so everyone else feels okay
But who's smiling back for you, baby
Who's smiling back for you

[Verse 2 — The Caregiver]
And you on the other side of the bed
Running on coffee and a prayer
You googled every symptom at midnight
Pretending like you wasn't scared
You cancelled everything you needed
Put yourself last on the list
And nobody threw you a lifeline honey
But you never stopped giving yours
Never stopped giving yours

[Pre-Chorus — BOTH voices, together]
Both of you are bleeding
Just in different places
Both of you are kneeling
In your different spaces
But grace found you anyway
Grace found you anyway

[Chorus — full gospel explosion]
Hold on
When the night won't end
Hold on
Let somebody in
You don't have to carry this alone anymore
Hold on
When you've got nothing left
Hold on
Take one more breath
Heaven's got its eye on you I know it does
Just hold on
Just hold on

[Verse 3 — The Quiet Grief]
Some of you have already lost
And the world just kept on moving
Like it didn't know a whole universe
Walked out the door with someone
You still reach for the phone sometimes
To call a voice that's gone
And that hollow in your chest
Became the place where love lives on
Where love lives on

[Bridge — whispered, raw, no instruments]
It's okay to be tired
It's okay to cry
It's okay to scream at God
and still believe He's by your side
You are not forgotten
You are not alone
Even in the hardest night
You are still somebody's miracle
Still somebody's miracle

[Final Chorus — key change, choir, full orchestra]
Hold on
When the night won't end
Hold on
Let somebody in
You don't have to carry this alone anymore
Hold on
When you've got nothing left
Hold on
Take one more breath
Heaven's got its eye on you I know it does
Hold on
Hold on
Hold ooooon
