The Light Remains

We have walked through changing seasons
Watched the years come and go
Seen the rivers find the ocean
Seen the places that we know

There were nights beneath the darkness
There were mornings full of light
And somehow through the distance
We kept finding our way back

Maybe we were never lost
Maybe we were learning how
To hear the quiet underneath
The noise of everything around

The light remains
When everything has changed
Through the falling rain
Through the wind and open skies

The light remains
No matter where we are
Like a fire in the distance
Like a star that never dies

The old trees still remember
Every storm they've ever known
They bend beneath the weather
But their roots have always held

And the sea keeps moving forward
Never asking where it goes
Every wave returns to shore
Then disappears and starts again

We don't need to know tomorrow
We don't need to see the end
Life will open where it opens
And we'll meet it as we can

The light remains
When everything has changed
Through the falling rain
Through the wind and open skies

The light remains
No matter where we are
Like a fire in the distance
Like a star that never dies

We did not come this far
To turn around and disappear
Every road became a part of us
Every moment brought us here

So let the years keep moving
Let the world keep changing too
There is no need to hold tomorrow
When I know I'll walk with you

The light remains
When everything has changed
Through the falling rain
Through the wind and open skies

The light remains
No matter where we are
I can feel it in the distance
I can feel it in your heart

The light remains
Through the ocean and the years
Through the silence and the thunder
Through the laughter and the tears

And if the road keeps turning
We'll follow where it goes
With an open heart before us
And the love we've always known

The road goes on
The sea rolls on
The morning comes
And we move on

The sky grows bright
The night is gone
Whatever comes
The light remains
