New Light in the Dark

[Verse 1]
She left her paw prints in the dust
On the old front porch we used to trust
Her shadow lingers, soft and low
In every corner where the memories grow

[Chorus]
But here you come, with your wagging tail
A little light where the dark prevails
No, you'll never take her place, that's true
But you mend the cracks, just being you

[Verse 2]
Your bark's not hers, it's a brand-new sound
Your steps don't match the paths she found
But your eyes, they hold a spark so kind
A piece of joy that helps us find

[Chorus]
That here you are, with your wagging tail
A little light where the dark prevails
No, you'll never take her place, that's true
But you soothe the ache, just being you

[Bridge]
We didn't know if we could love again
But you taught us how to let it in
You're not her shadow, you're your own
And somehow, you’ve made this house a home

[Chorus]
So here you stay, with your wagging tail
A little light where the dark prevails
No, you'll never take her place, that's true
But you bring us hope, just being you
