Lyrics

The Light We Carry Yves Stilmant © 2025

Verse A
I hear your voice in the quiet rain
A whisper soft through the windowpane
The world has changed, but you remain
A fire I hold through every flame
Verse B
I trace your name in the morning light
A memory that won't let go at night
Though oceans rise and stars may fall
You're the reason I stand tall
Pre-Chorus
Time can bend and distance grow
But love like this will always know
Chorus
You are the light I carry
The dream I'll never bury
Through every dark and stormy sky
You're the reason I survive
You are the light I carry
Forever near, though far we tarry
My heart won't ever let you go
You are my home

Verse A (repeat)
I see your eyes in the break of dawn
They lead me on when strength is gone
Verse B (new lines)
And when the night tries to steal my breath
I hear your words and fight back death
Pre-Chorus
Time can bend and distance grow
But love like this will always know
Bridge
Across the stars, beyond the sea
I feel you burning inside of me
One step closer, I won't break
This love is more than time can take
Double Chorus
You are the light I carry
The dream I'll never bury
Through every dark and stormy sky
You're the reason I survive
You are the light I carry
Forever near, though far we tarry
My heart won't ever let you go
You are my home
Outro
No matter where the road may wind
I'll find you there, love redefined
The light I carry... is always you
