Harbor of Ordinary Light

[Intro] Soft rain on the window, kettle hums in time I sip the present slowly, let the old dreams chime [Verse 1] We chased the colors of a fearless dawn Where we believed the world would bend to our song Now the days arrive like gentle, ordinary light And in their quiet glow I find a harbor bright [Pre-Chorus] If glory wore a jacket of ordinary thread I’d wear it with a smile, not a sigh of dread [Chorus] The dreamrooms fade to mornings warm and plain But every small ritual keeps me safe from rain I fold the map I drew and lay it down In this familiar peace, I’m finally found [Verse 2] A cup of coffee, steam tracing old maps on the wall The letters from the youth I’ve learned to forgive and call The mailbox sighs, another ordinary day And in its rhythm, a soft, forgiving grace [Pre-Chorus] If the night returns with fireflies and plans unsaid I’ll light a lamp and stay, right here instead [Chorus] The dreamrooms fade to mornings warm and plain But every small ritual keeps me safe from rain I fold the map I drew and lay it down In this familiar peace, I’m finally found [Bridge] Memory visits in a cardigan of gold Tells me the wandering was brave, not cold I carry the courage through the ordinary A quiet joy that seasons every story [Chorus] The dreamrooms fade to mornings warm and plain But every small ritual keeps me safe from rain I fold the map I drew and lay it down In this familiar peace, I’m finally found [Outro] So I settle into the soft, unglamorous light With warmth in my hands, and the night feels right
