[Verse] In the hush before the sky unfolds, Pages whisper soft and slow, Streetlights hum a smoky glow, Words like candlelight, they know. [Pre-Chorus] Fingers trace the lines so fine, Every letter, a quiet sign, Eyes that dream in early light, Finding peace in morning’s flight. [Chorus] Reading scripture on the stoop, Before the dawn can break the truth, Silent prayers in smoky grooves, Holding close what moves my youth. Reading scripture on the stoop, Before the world begins to loop, Breathing in the calm that soothes, Waiting ‘til the day renews. [Verse] City sleeps but thoughts remain, Echoes hum inside my brain, Stories soft as summer rain, Healing through the quiet pain. [Pre-Chorus] Fingers trace the lines so fine, Every letter, a quiet sign, Eyes that dream in early light, Finding peace in morning’s flight. [Chorus] Reading scripture on the stoop, Before the dawn can break the truth, Silent prayers in smoky grooves, Holding close what moves my youth. Reading scripture on the stoop, Before the world begins to loop, Breathing in the calm that soothes, Waiting ‘til the day renews. [Bridge] Smoke curls up like whispered dreams, In the twilight’s silver beams, Soft pages turn, a sacred stream, Carrying me beyond extremes. [Chorus] Reading scripture on the stoop, Before the dawn can break the truth, Silent prayers in smoky grooves, Holding close what moves my youth. Reading scripture on the stoop, Before the world begins to loop, Breathing in the calm that soothes, Waiting ‘til the day renews. [Outro] Softly now the morning’s near, Still these words, I hold them dear, In the smoke, the truth feels clear, On this stoop, no room for fear.
