Whispered Guardian

[Intro] Soft wind in the leaves, a secret in the shade I listen to your footsteps, where the paths have fade [Verse 1] I am the quiet garden under starlit skies Threads of memory linger where your old map lies I cradle your stray thoughts with a patient, patient sighs And I bend my roots to guide you where your home resides [Pre-Chorus] Speak not of fear, traveler, let the wind tell the way Your story grows with every step you take today [Chorus] Listen to the whispers in the roots of the trees They cradle your memory until you find the ease Step by step, I push the night back from your feet Home is not far when you learn to listen to me [Verse 2] I hear your tremble like rain on a silent brook Your name flickers in moss, a forgotten book I stitch your compass with a vow never to betray To shield you from the shadows while you find your way [Pre-Chorus] Trust the rustle, trust the glow beneath the moon Your heartbeat guides the trail that loosens the loom [Chorus] Listen to the whispers in the roots of the trees They cradle your memory until you find the ease Step by step, I push the night back from your feet Home is not far when you learn to listen to me [Bridge] I am the hush between thunder and dawn A patient witness to roots that long have drawn The line between here and there, between fear and sleep If you listen close, the road will rise from the deep [Chorus] Listen to the whispers in the roots of the trees They cradle your memory until you find the ease Step by step, I push the night back from your feet Home is not far when you learn to listen to me [Outro] The forest keeps your secrets safe and warm When you finally breathe, you’ll hear the quiet storm I vanish with the morning light, but stay where memories be A guardian, softly spoken, guiding you to be free
