Thank You For The Light

[Intro – soft acoustic guitar arpeggios, faint piano hum] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1 – gentle guitar strums, light shaker rhythm] You left a candle by my door when the world went dark You spoke the words I couldn’t find when my voice fell apart You sat with me through quiet nights when I had nothing to say You turned my grayest skies to blue in the gentlest way [Chorus – layered acoustic guitar, soft string swells] Thank you for the light you lent me when I lost my own Thank you for the quiet hope that kept me holding on Every small, kind thing you did, it wrapped around my soul I carry it with me now, wherever I may go [Verse 2 – added piano chords, subtle bass line] You shared your coat when I was cold, your laugh when I was low You didn’t try to fix it all, you just let me know That I was never really alone, even when I felt unseen You gave me back my courage, piece by piece [Chorus – slightly intensified vocals, soft drum beat kicks in] Thank you for the light you lent me when I lost my own Thank you for the quiet hope that kept me holding on Every small, kind thing you did, it wrapped around my soul I carry it with me now, wherever I may go [Interlude – acoustic guitar solo, warm reverb, faint piano backing] (Instrumental Solo) [Bridge – stripped back to guitar and vocals, intimate tone] I used to think I had to fight all my battles alone But you showed me love’s not loud, it’s the quiet things you’ve done Now I pass that light along, to whoever needs a hand ‘Cause you taught me how to love, and how to understand [Final Chorus – full band, soaring vocals, string crescendo] Thank you for the light you lent me when I lost my own Thank you for the quiet hope that kept me holding on Every small, kind thing you did, it wrapped around my soul I carry it with me now, wherever I may go [Outro – fading guitar strums, soft piano note fade-out] I’ll keep that light alive, for you I’ll keep that light alive, always new
