Story Behind The Song

One person makes all the difference.

Lyrics

Midnight in an empty room
Guitar against the wall
Neighbors sleeping, lights down low
But I still hear the call

Strings that cut into my hands
Dreams that don't pay rent
All the doubt and all the noise
And every dollar spent

They say you measure what you're worth
In numbers on a screen
But what if all it takes is one
To know what this all means?

If one heart hears this song tonight
If one soul feels less alone
If one pair of eyes looks up
And says "I'm not on my own"
Then every mile, every tear
Every hour in the dark
Was worth the fight, was worth it all
If one light finds a spark

Stages built on borrowed hope
Rooms with folding chairs
Open mics and empty tabs
Still I leave it there

Chasing echoes in the wind
Wondering if it's real
But somewhere someone's driving home
Needing what I feel

They say you measure what you're worth
In streams that rise and fall
But what if quiet miracles
Are worth more than them all?

Not for fame
Not for gold
Not for stories left untold
Just to reach beyond the fear
Let somebody know I'm here

If one heart hears this song tonight
If one soul finally breathes
If one voice whispers "thank you"
That's enough for me
