Echoes of Peace

[Intro] Softly now, I fade through the window of night Whispers of rain kiss the streetlamp light I am the quiet that lingers in air A memory listening, everywhere [Verse 1] I left my breath where the old clock sighs Took a corner of dawn, a pensioned goodbye I watch the doors as people rush by And learn the shape of your unspoken cries [Pre-Chorus] If you hear my name in the steam on a pane Know I am near, not gone, just changed in the rain [Chorus] I wish you mercy in the ache you tote I’m the soft relief when you finally float Let peace unhitch the weight from your chest And know I hold you, even as I rest [Verse 2] Your shadows stretch tall where I used to stand I measure the miles with the ache in your hands I whisper a map for the long, hard night A promise that dawn can forgive what we can’t [Pre-Chorus] If you hear my whisper when the house sighs at dusk I’m the gentlest breath in the room you trust [Chorus] I wish you mercy in the ache you tote I’m the soft relief when you finally float Let peace unhitch the weight from your chest And know I hold you, even as I rest [Bridge] Let the sorrow loosen its grip, let it fall away There’s a quiet horizon awaiting your day I carried you softly past fear and doubt Now walk toward the light, I’m never far out [Chorus] I wish you mercy in the ache you tote I’m the soft relief when you finally float Let peace unhitch the weight from your chest And know I hold you, even as I rest [Outro] When your tears recede like rain from a leaf Let memory be shelter, and give yourself peace I am the echo that stays when you’ve learned to breathe I am your silence where soul finds release
