Lamp of Hope

[Intro] In a village of quiet doors and night-slow winds A lamp glows warm, like a small sun within [Verse 1] A boy sits still with hungry eyes, a heavy feelin’ in the room His mother’s hands are folded, counting every hopeful bloom The walls remember prayers, the floor bears quiet grace Two hearts stay brave together, in this small, sacred space [Pre-Chorus] Soft shadows whisper stories of weathered days gone by But the oil lamp keeps a brave glow, a stubborn, hopeful light [Chorus] Hold on, hold on, through the quiet night We keep a little promise, till the morning light Hold on, hold on, your mother’s eyes can see The future carved in patience, as endless as the sea [Verse 2] Outside, the village hums with life, inside, a humble vow To share what little they have and ask for grace somehow Her voice is steady, like a hymn softly spoken Love feeds the soul when proof is never token [Pre-Chorus] Across the room, a prayer breathes warm and near Two weary souls find courage, when hope is all that's clear [Chorus] Hold on, hold on, through the quiet night We keep a little promise, till the morning light Hold on, hold on, your mother’s eyes can see The future carved in patience, as endless as the sea [Bridge] If dawn arrives with scarce bread, we’ll count the stars instead We’ll trace the lines of blessing, in every tear we’ve shed [Chorus] Hold on, hold on, through the quiet night We keep a little promise, till the morning light Hold on, hold on, your mother’s eyes can see The future carved in patience, as endless as the sea [Outro] And when the lamp grows steady, and the house is warm again They rise on quiet toes of hope, and bow to night’s soft rain
