A Line of Light
Style: Soft piano

[Verse 1]
A narrow line of light falls gold across the floor tonight
It waits beside your bed until your breathing settles slow
Nothing in this room will move before the morning's light
Everything is quiet now and quiet's all you need to know

[Pre-chorus]
The house is folding softly into shadows and warm air
Every little sound outside has settled somewhere far away
Close your eyes, there's nothing waiting for you but my care

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Amina, the light stays on for you
Nothing in the dark tonight can find its way to you
Rest your head, Amina, let the whole wide world go too
There's nowhere I would rather be than watching over you

[Verse 2]
The hallway hums a quiet gold that spills beneath the door
It's not the dark that matters here, it's who is standing near
You don't need every corner lit to feel safe anymore
Just one small thread of light to know that someone's here

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Amina, the light stays on for you
Nothing in the dark tonight can find its way to you
Rest your head, Amina, let the whole wide world go too
There's nowhere I would rather be than watching over you

[Bridge]
Let your small hands finally uncurl and rest
Let the whole day empty out of you like breath
There is nothing you must carry now, nothing to prove
Only sleep, only stillness, only you

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Amina, the light stays on for you
Nothing in the dark tonight can find its way to you
Rest your head, Amina, let the whole wide world go too
There's nowhere I would rather be than watching over you

[Outro]
The light still waits along the floor in one long golden line
Sleep now, it will still be there when morning comes to find you
