[Verse] Streetlight hums through a cracked windowpane I’m wearing someone else’s coat, the sleeves drag in the rain Fingers trace the collar where your name was once Now just a whisper, quiet, cold, and worn [Pre-Chorus] The flame flickers like a memory That never quite lets go, Saying prayers in the language of the now [Chorus] Oh, light me up, let me be the one With a soul still tender, worn but still won If you’re watching, don’t turn away I’ve got a heart that’s learned to say I’m here, I’m real, I’m ready, Even if I’m just a borrowed coat and a candle’s plea Yeah, I’m here, I’m real, I’m ready Even if I’m just a whisper in a smoky key [Verse] The mirror don’t know my name today Just a shadow in a borrowed gray I’ve rehearsed the words, but fear still speaks Like a ghost in the silence, like an echo in the creek [Pre-Chorus] The flame flickers like a memory That never quite lets go, Saying prayers in the language of the now [Chorus] Oh, light me up, let me be the one With a soul still tender, worn but still won If you’re watching, don’t turn away I’ve got a heart that’s learned to say I’m here, I’m real, I’m ready, Even if I’m just a borrowed coat and a candle’s plea Yeah, I’m here, I’m real, I’m ready Even if I’m just a whisper in a smoky key [Bridge] Maybe I’m not the answer, But I’m not the wrong one, And if this flame goes out, I’ll still have known the way Through the smoke, through the fear, Through the silence, through the years And if I fall, I’ll fall with grace— Still whispering, “I’m here, I’m here, I’m here…” [Outro] I’m here, I’m real, I’m ready Even if I’m just a borrowed coat and a candle’s plea Yeah, I’m here, I’m real, I’m ready Even if I’m just a whisper in a smoky key… (whispered) Just a whisper… Just a light… Just a prayer… Just me.
