A Sliver of Light
Style: Music box

[Verse 1]
A sliver of light comes creeping under the door tonight
and lays itself so softly on the grey carpet, warm and bright
it waits there like it's watching over you as you rest
you're held so close and gentle, everything will be alright

[Pre-chorus]
The house breathes slow around you, settling into the dark
every corner soft and quiet, every worry put to rest
so let the hush wrap round you as your eyes begin to close

[Chorus]
Zion, Zion, close your eyes now, let the whole wide world go still
you are loved beyond the measure of the highest, gentlest hill
hush now, little Zion, nothing here can do you harm
sleep so deep and easy, safe inside this quiet, calm

[Verse 2]
The blankets tuck around you like the softest kind of tide
and somewhere down the hallway that same light is standing by
it doesn't need to enter, it just stays there, patient, kind
the same as love that watches even when it's out of sight

[Bridge]
Nothing in the shadows, only stillness in the air
every breath you're taking says that you are cared for here

[Chorus]
Zion, Zion, close your eyes now, let the whole wide world go still
you are loved beyond the measure of the highest, gentlest hill
hush now, little Zion, nothing here can do you harm
sleep so deep and easy, safe inside this quiet, calm

[Outro]
That sliver of light will still be waiting there when morning comes
sleep on now, you are held, you are so deeply, dearly loved
