Until I See The Light Again

Lyrics

UNTIL I SEE THE LIGHT AGAIN Shadowlight [INTRO — whispered, intimate | distant piano, low drone] I don’t love this life because it treated me kind… I love it because after everything— I’m still here. [breath] Still breathing. Still standing. Still… here. ⸻ [VERSE 1 — low, dark vocal] You see the smile, but not the war behind it. You hear the silence, but never what lives inside it. You never walked the roads that broke my bones. Never heard me begging heaven not to leave me here alone. I fell where no one saw me. I bled without a sound. But every time the darkness took me— I came back around. ⸻ [PRE-CHORUS — tension rising | heartbeat drums] So don’t tell me how strong I should have been. You never wore my scars. You never lived beneath my skin. [whisper] You don’t know where I’ve been. ⸻ [CHORUS — POWER | cinematic drums + strings + guitars] THE SUN DOESN’T SHINE ON EVERY SOUL THE SAME. Some of us walk through hell just to see another day. So don’t judge the scars when you don’t know their names. Sometimes a heart doesn’t need saving— IT JUST NEEDS SOMEONE WHO STAYS. Someone who stays… when everybody walks away. Someone who holds the dark until I see the light again. ⸻ [POST-CHORUS — whispered voices around the lead] Stay… Don’t turn away… Stay… until I see the light again. ⸻ [VERSE 2 — restrained power, darker drums] I learned that strength doesn’t always make a sound. Sometimes strength is shaking while you’re getting off the ground. Sometimes courage is one heartbeat saying— Not tonight. One more breath. One more step. One more reason left to fight. We all carry hidden chapters no one else will ever read. So before you judge the broken— [whisper] ask what made them bleed. ⸻ [PRE-CHORUS 2 — building harder] Don’t ask me why I still carry the night. Just sit beside me in the darkness until my eyes remember— LIGHT. ⸻ [CHORUS — BIGGER] THE SUN DOESN’T SHINE ON EVERY SOUL THE SAME. Some of us crawl through fire just to feel the warmth again. So don’t judge the scars when you don’t know their names. Sometimes a heart doesn’t need answers— IT JUST NEEDS SOMEONE WHO STAYS. When the whole world disappears… STAY. When I can’t remember who I am… STAY. Until the darkness breaks— AND I SEE THE LIGHT AGAIN. ⸻ [BRIDGE — everything drops out | piano + breathing] [whisper] I used to hate the darkness. I used to ask… Why me? Why these scars? Why these nights? Why did I have to fight just to survive? [long pause] But darkness taught me something… You never understand what light is worth until you’ve lived without it. [almost inaudible] So if you see someone standing at the edge… don’t judge them. Don’t preach. Don’t tell them how to survive. Just… stay. ⸻ [SILENCE] [whisper] Stay. ⸻ [FINAL CHORUS — MASSIVE | full orchestra + huge drums + guitars + choir] WE ARE MORE THAN ALL OUR SCARS! MORE THAN EVERYTHING THAT BROKE US! More than tears behind closed doors! More than words we never spoke! WE ARE STILL HERE! [CHOIR: STILL HERE!] WE ARE STILL BREATHING! [CHOIR: STILL BREATHING!] WE ARE STILL STANDING! [CHOIR: WE WILL RISE!] And if the night takes everything— WE’LL BECOME THE LIGHT IT COULDN’T KILL! [CHOIR rising] WE ARE MORE… WE ARE MORE… WE ARE MORE THAN OUR SCARS… So when another soul is falling, don’t look away. Be the hand. Be the hope. Be the one— WHO STAYS! [FULL CHOIR] UNTIL WE SEE THE LIGHT AGAIN! UNTIL WE SEE THE LIGHT AGAIN! UNTIL WE— ⸻ [TOTAL CUT — silence] [one distant piano note] [close-mic whisper, fragile] I can see it now… [breath] the light. [very softly] I can see it now.
