George in the Night

[Intro] In the quiet hour, the night folds in tight George stands alone where the shadows bite [Verse 1] He wears the dusk like armor, old and worn A map of battles etched where dust is born Whispers rise from the pits of his mind Demons drum softly, one question, one line: stay [Pre-Chorus] He bends to listen to the scarred past complain But a stubborn spark says, I’ll fight again [Chorus] George, keep your eyes on the distant dawn Fight through the dark where the brave are born Raise the prayer that won’t fade away Hold the line, don’t yield, not today [Verse 2] Night is a battlefield, stars flicker like swords Promises broken now become quiet chords He counters the fear with a breath held bold A vow in the marrow, a stubborn old hope gold [Pre-Chorus] Echoes remind him of fall and of fallible trust Yet courage pours out, stubborn and just [Chorus] George, keep your eyes on the distant dawn Fight through the dark where the brave are born Raise the prayer that won’t fade away Hold the line, don’t yield, not today [Bridge] If the night wounds deeper, if the dawn hides far He whispers a prayer to the unseen stars I am not junked by the weight I bear I am the author of every breath I wear [Chorus] George, keep your eyes on the distant dawn Fight through the dark where the brave are born Raise the prayer that won’t fade away Hold the line, don’t yield, not today [Outro] Scarred hands lift toward the pale horizon light George moves forward, step after stubborn step Never giving up, until the morning rises right
