A Flicker in the Night

[Verse]
Old man sat by the riverside
Nothin' but shadows for company
Weathered hands on a tattered journal
Dreams locked in with broken key

[Verse 2]
Stars sippin' through treetops
Glowing
Eyes so tired
Heart still showing
A tale of losses
Bitter and few
But a flicker of hope always grew

[Chorus]
Oh
Every night the darkness sways
But even after longest days
The dawn will come
Shedding light
Hold on tight
Till morning bright

[Verse 3]
Young girl with a song on her lips
Wanderin’ barefoot past life’s dips
She carried in her heart a tune
Through the deepest of the brume

[Verse 4]
With whispers of the past behind
She saw the sunlight intertwined
With every hurt and every tear
Hope was never far
Always near

[Bridge]
Time took its toll on weary faces
But in those eyes
Hope embraces
A flicker
A spark
A burning flame
In quiet moments
It breathes your name
