The Light You Gave

I walked the forest paths alone
A stranger with no crown, no home
Then I saw you where the shadows end
And I was never the same again

Your hair like night, your eyes like stars
You spoke my name and healed my scars
A moment stolen from the tide
And I knew I’d never hide

Oh, hope is the star that lights the way
When the night is long and the road is steep
She gave up everything to stay
And I found the strength I was meant to keep

Through shadow and fire, through doubt and fear
Her faith made me king, her love made me whole
The light she gave will always be here
A promise that carries the soul

The years went by like running streams
I walked through darkness, followed dreams
Then we stood upon the golden hill
Where time itself was standing still

You left your people, left your shores
Gave up forever to be mine
No ship to take you to the west
You chose my heart, you chose to stay

Oh, hope is the star that lights the way
When the night is long and the road is steep
She gave up everything to stay
And I found the strength I was meant to keep

Through shadow and fire, through doubt and fear
Her faith made me king, her love made me whole
The light she gave will always be here
A promise that carries the soul
