Quiet to Color

Verse

I kept a hermitage of silence,

A cloister in my chest.

Footsteps faded at the threshold—

Love was never let to rest.

Letters left unanswered,

Candles cold along the nave;

I barred the door to tenderness,

Too weathered to be brave.

Pre-chorus

Then you came like morning through stained glass,

Color finding every stone I’d cast.

Chorus

When love found me, daylight broke to prisms,

Every shadow loosened into gold.

Let me love you—more, and ever more—

In this hush where fear grows old.

If time could learn the art of staying still,

I’d live forever in this hour we fill.

Verse

You tuned my guarded heartbeat

To gentler, human keys;

Taught a wounded voice to open,

Turned my no’s to quiet please.

Now even air is honeyed,

And rain is light untwined—

The world, a fluent rainbow,

Reading mercy into mind.

Pre-chorus

All the walls remember how to bend,

And every locked-up room can breathe again.

Chorus

When love found me, daylight broke to prisms,

Every shadow loosened into gold.

Let me love you—more, and ever more—

In this hush where fear grows old.

If time could learn the art of staying still,

I’d live forever in this hour we fill.

Bridge

Let the hourglass forget to fall;

Let seconds settle, petal-soft, and slow.

If this is dreamlight, leave the curtains drawn—

I only want the world we’ve come to know.

Chorus

When love found me, daylight broke to prisms,

Every shadow loosened into gold.

Let me love you—more, and ever more—

’Til even heaven has to fold.

If time would place a ring around this day,

We’d live forever where the colors stay.

Outro

Stay—

And let the quiet turn to color as we pray.
