[Verse] The clock ticks slow on the hospital wall, Echoes of footsteps fading, I’m standing tall. Light through the glass, a shadowed stain, Praying for a breath, for love to remain. [Pre-Chorus] Every second holds a prayer, A whispered name in the silence there. I don’t know how long this night will last, But I’ll wait here—no matter the cost. [Chorus] I’m the quiet fire, the steady beat, The anchor in the storm, the promise I’ll meet. Through the long dark, I won’t turn away, Love is the light that won’t fade away. Through the long dark, I won’t turn away, Love is the light that won’t fade away. [Verse] The elevator hums with unseen grace, A pulse in the vein of this endless space. Each rise and fall, a hope in flight, A million words I can’t speak just right. [Pre-Chorus] Time bends like a whispered vow, Every heartbeat saying “I’m still here now.” No map to follow, no guide to lead, But I stand here—on the edge of need. [Chorus] I’m the quiet fire, the steady beat, The anchor in the storm, the promise I’ll meet. Through the long dark, I won’t turn away, Love is the light that won’t fade away. Through the long dark, I won’t turn away, Love is the light that won’t fade away. [Bridge] And when the doors finally open wide, And the world takes one breath—then my soul can hide In the echo of your name, in the hand that holds me— I’ll say, “I’ve been here all along, my love, I was.” [Chorus] I’m the quiet fire, the steady beat, The anchor in the storm, the promise I’ll meet. Through the long dark, I won’t turn away, Love is the light that won’t fade away. Through the long dark, I won’t turn away, Love is the light that won’t fade away. [Outro] I’ll wait… I’ll wait… I’ll wait… Love is the light that won’t fade away.
