She Holds The Fire

I see your shadow on the wall again
Dancing slow in borrowed light
You move like time is listening
Every step a quiet fight

I don't know where you came from
But I feel where you've been
There's a silence in your heartbeat
Like a war you didn't win

And I, I won't ask you why
No, I, I just stay tonight

She holds the fire
Won't let it die
Keeps it burning
Deep inside
Through the cold
Through the night
She holds the fire
She holds the light

Your hands are cold but steady still
Like you've learned to carry storms
Every scar a quiet will
Every tear a different form

I hear your voice in fragments
Like a prayer without a name
You don't beg for redemption
You just walk through the flame

And I, I won't turn away
No, I, I'm here to stay

She holds the fire
Won't let it die
Keeps it burning
Deep inside
Through the cold
Through the night
She holds the fire
She holds the light

And if the walls come crashing down
And if the sky forgets your name
I will stand here in the sound
Of every whisper, every flame

Oh, oh
You don't have to hide

She holds the fire
Won't let it die
Keeps it burning
Deep inside
Through the cold
Through the night
She holds the fire
She holds the light

I see your shadow fade to dawn
Still burning, still holding on
