Lyrics
Description
(Intro — whispered, cinematic)
Mm… the veil lifts slow, a candle in the dark,
I breathe the space you left—your cologne still sparks.
Clock on the mantel froze at three-oh-seven,
Love folded time and opened up a heaven.
(Verse 1)
The day you left the room, the air went thick and slow,
My chest learned a new weight I hadn’t known would grow.
Your old cologne on the coat I kept on my chair,
A single shoe by the door, like you might still be there.
Heartbeat hit the pavement—stumbled, cold, and loud,
I learned how to walk a world that lost its sound.
But love runs quiet deep below the dirt and stone,
You stepped across the veil and told me I wasn’t alone.
(Pre‑Chorus)
Soft voice in the dark—“Baby, don’t you wait,”
A page turned in your Bible, a tap against the gate.
(Chorus)
Beyond the grave, you call my name,
Bible in your hand, light on your face,
You pulled me from the dark, from the flame,
You saved my life — you showed the way.
You walk beside me.
(Verse 2)
I overslept for class, the sun didn’t make sense,
Woke to antiseptic air and fluorescent lens.
There you sat in pajamas, Bible open on your knee,
The light around your shoulders said, “This ain’t mystery.”
Your words struck like the alarm—“Go now, don’t be slow,”
My breath was threaded thin; the hallway numbers glowed.
Two‑ten on the clock, the ER smells of metal and fear,
Doctors shook their heads, then you whispered, “I’m here.”
(Pre‑Chorus)
Pages turned like footsteps—“Move quick, child, be brave,”
Your voice the map I followed through the sterile waves.
(Chorus)
Beyond the grave, you call my name,
Bible in your hand, light on your face,
You pulled me from the dark, from the flame,
You saved my life — you showed the way.
You walk beside me.
(Bridge)
One night the veil thinned—whispers pressed my chest,
Three mothers of my line stood up to meet the test.
Warm hands, low songs, breaking chains I never spoke,
They held your Bible like a lantern, kept me from the choke.
A black‑hooded shadow reached, it tried to claim my light,
But they called your old refrain—your words cut through the night:
"Not yet, she’s got a role, she’s walking out of here,"
They pushed back the dark and left your promise near.
(Chorus — stronger / call & response)
Beyond the grave, you call my name — (You call my name)
Bible in your hand, light on your face — (Light on your face)
You pulled me from the dark, from the flame — (Pulled me from the flame)
You saved my life — you showed the way.
You walk beside me. (You walk beside me)
(Final Tag — gospel lift)
Hallelujah — your footsteps in my bones,
Hallelujah — I’m never walking home alone.
(Outro — intimate, fading)
Love don’t leave, it changes form and stays,
In whispers, in pages, in those small saving ways.
When storms roll in, I hear your steady stride—
Daddy’s love, beyond the veil, still by my side.
