Lyrics
Verse 1
In the quiet of the morning when the shadows fall
I can hear the world is whispering, barely heard at all
Every step we’re taking leaves a mark behind
And the fragile threads between us sway in time
Pre-Chorus
If we speak with gentleness, maybe we can mend
All the broken stories waiting for an end
Chorus
Like a glass river flowing through the scars of the earth
We are learning how to carry all the weight and the hurt
Though the world may tremble, though our hands may shake
Love is still the promise that refuses to break
Verse 2
When the night is heavy and the heart is weak
All the words we never managed still remain to speak
Even in the silence, something still survives
A quiet hope that flickers, keeping us alive
Pre-Chorus
If we breathe with kindness, maybe we can be
More than just the echoes of our own uncertainty
Chorus
Like a glass river flowing through the scars of the earth
We are learning how to carry all the weight and the hurt
Though the world may tremble, though our hands may shake
Love is still the promise that refuses to break
Bridge
Hold the moment softly, let it settle slow
Only in our tenderness the brightest rivers glow
Final Chorus
Like a glass river shining through the cracks in the night
We are stronger when we’re gentle, turning sorrow to light
Though the world may tremble, though our hearts may ache
Love is still the promise that refuses to break
