funk, swing, low key, female vocals, dual vocals, medium to slow tempo, piano, alto saxophone, with bass and drums, heartfelt, dramatic, harmony on the chorus, dissonance with resolution at the end

Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Standing on the shore, fireworks in the night
Wading in the waves, feeling alive
But then the tide came in, and I was swept away
Down into the dark, where life flashes by in disarray
(Chorus)
Lost in the depths, can't find my way
Can't tell which way is up, can't breathe another day
But then a hand reached out, and pulled me to the light
And I was saved, in the darkest of nights
(Verse 2)
I found myself in a dark place, again
Not in danger, but my world was still in pain
Couldn't find my way, didn't know what to do
But then you were there, like a ray of sunshine through
(Chorus)
You lit up the night, and showed me the way
You didn't judge, you just listened and stayed
You offered comfort, support, and a guiding light
And in the darkness, you made everything alright
(Bridge)
When the chips are down, and you're not yourself
That's when true friends show up, and show their wealth
You made me wanna be real, you made me wanna be me
You made me wanna open up, and let my true self be free
(Chorus)
You lit up the night, and showed me the way
You didn't judge, you just listened and stayed
You offered comfort, support, and a guiding light
And in the darkness, you made everything alright
(Outro)
I'm grateful for your friendship, it's a precious thing
You're a kind soul, a true friend, and a special wing
I pray that God blesses you, and gives you your heart's desire
Thank you for seeing the real me, and making me feel like I'm on fire
