Little Beam of Light
Style: Clarinet nightlight

[Verse 1]
Dust is drifting slowly down a hallway thin and gold
Every speck of light is floating soft and unafraid
You are held here closer than this house has ever told
Nothing in the shadows now can touch you, Ahmed

[Pre-chorus]
The hush is gathering gently at your door tonight
Every worry folds itself and quietly lets go
Come and follow this small trembling line of light

[Chorus]
Ahmed, the whole house is holding its breath for you
Sleep is a river and you are drifting to bed
Nothing can follow where this warm light leads you through
Rest now, Ahmed, there is nothing to dread

[Verse 2]
The beam moves slower than a hand that smooths your hair
Somewhere a door clicks soft and lets the evening in
You are the quiet that this whole house wants to share
Sleep is a blanket that was always your to win

[Chorus]
Ahmed, the whole house is holding its breath for you
Sleep is a river and you are drifting to bed
Nothing can follow where this warm light leads you through
Rest now, Ahmed, there is nothing to dread

[Bridge]
Every small sound has gone to sleep before you
Even the light has laid its head down soft and low

[Chorus]
Ahmed, the whole house is holding its breath for you
Sleep is a river and you are drifting to bed
Nothing can follow where this warm light leads you through
Rest now, Ahmed, there is nothing to dread

[Outro]
The hallway settles into gold and then to grey
You are the light this house was keeping anyway
