[Verse] Underneath the fading light, I trace the edges worn and thin Pages holding whispered dreams, the kind that lives beneath the skin Tucked away beneath my pillow, where the midnight silence grows A leather journal waits to tell the stories only nighttime knows [Pre-Chorus] Every word a seed of hope, every line a steady hand Guiding me through shadows pulled across the shifting sand [Chorus] Hold on to the stories, hold on to the truth In the leather-bound of memories, there’s a light that pulls me through Hold on to the stories, whisper them out loud In the quiet of the doubt, I’m standing strong and proud [Verse] Every fear I locked inside, now soft as feathers, free to fly Ink and paper draw a map that helps me find the reasons why Though the night feels wide and wild, a spark is breaking through the dark In the words beneath my pillow, hope ignites a brand new start [Pre-Chorus] Every word a seed of hope, every line a steady hand Guiding me through shadows pulled across the shifting sand [Chorus] Hold on to the stories, hold on to the truth In the leather-bound of memories, there’s a light that pulls me through Hold on to the stories, whisper them out loud In the quiet of the doubt, I’m standing strong and proud [Bridge] When the morning comes around, and the doubts begin to fade I’ll carry all these pages close, the promises I made With every turn, the story grows, a gentle flame inside This leather journal's more than words—it’s where my hope will hide [Chorus] Hold on to the stories, hold on to the truth In the leather-bound of memories, there’s a light that pulls me through Hold on to the stories, whisper them out loud In the quiet of the doubt, I’m standing strong and proud [Outro] In the quiet of the doubt, I’m standing strong and proud
