Tim's Song -Stay in the Light

[Intro] [Distant wind, bowed Nordic drone, soft pulse, humming harmonies] [Wordless Vocal] Ooh... Ooh-ah... Stay in the light... [Verse 1] I used to wait for signs in the sky, For some perfect road, some perfect time. But the stars don't tell you when to move, They just burn, and leave the choice to you. I watched whole years turn into smoke, Held back words I should have spoke. Now every second feels alive, Like the world is opening from the inside. [Pre-Chorus] If time bends, let it bend around us. If night falls, let the dark surround us. We don't need forever to know what this is. [Chorus] Stay, stay in the light with me. Breathe, breathe like we're meant to be. Here, right where forever touches one heartbeat. Stay, stay while the moment's ours. Love, love like the dying stars. They disappear, but still their light keeps finding us. [Post-Chorus] Stay in the light... Stay in the light... [Deep chest hum] Mm-mm-mm... [Verse 2] Maybe reality is stranger than we know, Color in the mind, music in the soul. Maybe every life is just a spark, Learning how to shine inside the dark. I used to fear the passing years, Like every turning page disappeared. But nothing loved is really gone, It changes shape and carries on. [Pre-Chorus] If time bends, let it bend around us. If waves rise, let the world surround us. We don't need forever to know what this is. [Chorus] Stay, stay in the light with me. Breathe, breathe like we're meant to be. Here, right where forever touches one heartbeat. Stay, stay while the moment's ours. Love, love like the dying stars. They disappear, but still their light keeps finding us. [Post-Chorus] Stay in the light... Stay in the light... Even when the night comes, stay in the light. [Instrumental Lift] [Smooth chillstep beat, deep multi-frequency bass hum, frame drums, synth arpeggios, bowed strings, distant throat vocals] [Bridge] One day this room will only live in memory. One day this voice will only live inside a song. So if you're here, then be here completely. Nothing stays... [Harmony] Nothing stays... [Lead] That's what makes it beautiful. [Build] No perfect day. No perfect road. No final answer we were owed. Just this breath. Just this flame. Just this little time that knows our name. [Drop / Chorus] Stay, stay in the light with me. Breathe, breathe like we're finally free. Here, right where forever touches one heartbeat. Stay, stay while the moment's ours. Love, love like the dying stars. They disappear, but still their light keeps finding us. [Post-Chorus] Stay in the light, stay in the light. Even when the whole world turns into night. Stay in the light, stay in the light. We were never meant to live forever... Just to live it right. [Final Verse] Maybe meaning isn't something we find. Maybe meaning is what we leave behind. A little warmth. A little grace. A memory time couldn't quite erase. And if my name becomes a distant sound, I hope some part of me is still around In the way you laugh, the way you love, the way you look at the stars above. [Final Double Chorus] Stay, stay in the light with me. Breathe, breathe like we're meant to be. Here, right where forever touches one heartbeat. Stay, stay while the moment's ours. Love, love like the dying stars. They disappear, but still their light keeps finding us. [Higher Harmony] Stay in the light... [Lead] Stay in the light... [Choir] Stay in the light... [Final Refrain] We don't need forever. We don't need forever. We just need one moment to be real. [Outro] [Beat fades, bowed drone, breathy harmony] Stay in the light... Stay in the light... [Whisper] While the light is here.
