Lyrics
Description
[Intro]
Candles bow in the ancient hall where you first called my name.
(soft violin solo, pianissimo — breathe)
[Verse 1]
Strings awake with gentle, steady grace;
Piano clears the crystal dream, a silver trace.
Rivers braid the moonlight's seam beneath the stone,
Footsteps of memory, a doorway we have known. (hold)
[Pre-Chorus]
A single chord, the air leans in — suspended sighs,
Perfume of ages turns to color in our eyes. (crescendo)
[Chorus]
We remain in light — this dance remains. (We remain in light)
Hearts in time with shadowed refrains. (We remain in light)
Lift the phrase, let violas hold the line,
This dance remains — we remain in light. (repeat, swell)
[Verse 2]
Cellos anchor like roots beneath winter's skin,
Flutes map morning on the ribs of where we've been.
Candles trace the arches of the room you lit for me,
Glass and breath and time converge in melody. (sustain)
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the hush between the notes: a world untold,
Finger on the ledger of a story we unfold. (softly)
[Chorus]
We remain in light — this dance remains. (We remain in light)
Threads of silver pull the dark away. (We remain in light)
Let the chorus lift — the orchestra aligns,
This dance remains — we remain in light. (full)
[Bridge — turning point]
If silence ever stole the hall and took the sound,
If candles fell like constellations to the ground,
I would trace your name along the carved-out stone,
And build from breath a bridge of notes to call you home. (modulate up)
(Instructional cue: strings crescendo through bridge; solo clarinet answers on the last phrase)
[Final Chorus — intensified]
We remain in light — this dance remains. (We remain in light)
A thousand bows return the echo of your name. (We remain in light)
Lift every voice, let timpani mark the time,
This dance remains — we remain in light. (soaring, full orchestra)
(repeat chorus, gradually thinning)
[Outro]
Candles bow, the ancient hall exhales the night,
Piano threads the last thin silver of the light. (diminuendo)
We remain in light — a breath, a bell, a seam,
Fading into starlight, carrying one shared dream. (piano, then hush)
We Remain in Light
