The years stretched out, a canvas bleached and wide
A barren landscape where the soul could hide
I walked the drift of hours, horizonless and gray
A desert of the spirit, losing track of day
I searched for water where the rivers used to run
I had no compass, and I saw no rising sun
Just endless shadow, confusion deep and cold
A story whispered, never destined to be told.

I had resigned myself to finding no guiding thread
To crumble where my weary body bled
I closed my eyes and whispered a final, fading plea…
And that’s the moment that the darkness broke for me.

You were the radiant beam that split the choking night
You were that glowing light that shone before my sight
When I was lost in time, afraid and battle-scarred
Your heart became my shield, my safety and my guard
Your touch became the healing that finally soothed my soul
You made the broken pieces suddenly feel whole.

I didn’t know how deep the wound had truly gone
Until the moment that you carried me at dawn
You didn’t judge the wreckage or the bitter fall
You stood and answered to my desperate call
You gathered up the burdens I could no longer keep
You carried my every teardrop while I learned to sleep
You were the soft touch that chased away the fear
The gentle strength I needed, holding me so near.

I felt the warmth return to limbs that had been cold
A priceless gift worth more than silver or fine gold
I opened up my eyes and knew where I should be…
You built a sanctuary just for me.

You were the radiant beam that split the choking night
You were that glowing light that shone before my sight
When I was lost in time, afraid and battle-scarred
Your heart became my shield, my safety and my guard
Your touch became the healing that finally soothed my soul
You made the broken pieces suddenly feel whole.

My spirit was adrift, a fragile, trembling ghost
You understood the things that meant the absolute most
No harsh demand, no question or quick fix
Your heart wrapped itself around me in the mix
And comforted the silence I could not confess
You brought me back from nothingness.

You were the radiant beam that split the choking night
You were that glowing light that shone before my sight
When I was lost in time, afraid and battle-scarred
Your heart became my shield, my safety and my guard
Your touch became the healing that finally soothed my soul
You made the broken pieces suddenly feel whole.

My lost spirit, warmed beneath your grace
I finally found my home, I finally found my place
In your light…
In your light…
The radiant beam…
