Little Yellow Light
Style: Kalimba night

[Verse 1]
A small yellow light hangs above the wooden stair
watching every step you take as you climb up there
The house breathes quiet now, its work is finally done
and all it wants is rest for its littlest one

[Chorus]
Santiago, close your eyes, let the whole house sigh
the glow on the steps will keep watch till the morning's nigh
You are held so gently, safe in this warm cocoon
Santiago, drift away, soft beneath the moon

[Verse 2]
Bare wood under bare feet, but nothing here feels cold
every corner of this hallway has your name to hold
The dark outside the window cannot come and find you here
because the light above the stairs will always keep you near

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere a kalimba hums low along the hall
soft notes falling gentle like the slowest kind of fall
and everything is leaning in to sing you down to sleep

[Chorus]
Santiago, close your eyes, let the whole house sigh
the glow on the steps will keep watch till the morning's nigh
You are held so gently, safe in this warm cocoon
Santiago, drift away, soft beneath the moon

[Bridge]
No shadow here will ever learn your name
nothing in this house will wake you but the same
small yellow light that never leaves its post
loving you the most of all it ever could host

[Chorus]
Santiago, close your eyes, let the whole house sigh
the glow on the steps will keep watch till the morning's nigh
You are held so gently, safe in this warm cocoon
Santiago, drift away, soft beneath the moon

[Outro]
The light above the staircase will still be glowing there
when you wake up warm and safe, wrapped in loving care
