When the road was made of shadows
And the silence wore me thin
I found a single ember
Still burning deep within
So I carry the light, through the longest night
Every step a quiet kind of brave
I carry the light, and I won't lose the fight
There's a dawn beyond the waves
They said the storm would break me
That my voice would turn to stone
But every wall I climbed over
Showed me I was not alone
So I carry the light, through the longest night
Every step a quiet kind of brave
I carry the light, and I won't lose the fight
There's a dawn beyond the waves
Rise, rise, the strings are swelling
A story still worth telling
