Gold in the Ember (النسخة 2)

Verse

Smoke curls slow where the embers lay

Copper light on the courtyard wall

Old men talking in a hushed sway

Ash and ember, one of each fall

Bread still warm from the oven below

Neighbors call out through the iron gate

Grandmother's recipe nobody knows

Passed down lips that never wrote it down

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the warmth move through your veins?

This is where the day remembers

Every fire that ever held my name

Chorus

Gold in the ember, gold in the ember

Burning low but it never dies

Hands outstretched to catch what's turning over

Warmth like a voice I recognize

Verse

Paper lanterns strung from the porch beam

Kids laughing loud where the night used to be

Rooftop speakers hum a rhythm tame

Grandfather's stories, nobody remembers the same

Corner store scent of sugar and smoke

Radio humming a song he loved

I carry it forward in every stroke

Every ember is someone I move

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the warmth move through your veins?

This is where the day remembers

Every fire that ever held my name

Chorus

Gold in the ember, gold in the ember

Burning low but it never dies

Hands outstretched to catch what's turning over

Warmth like a voice I recognize

Bridge

Maybe home was just this spark we kept

Passed from palm to hand till the coal went cold

I'm not burning brighter than the ones before me

Just carrying the glow so nobody ever grows old

Chorus

Gold in the ember, gold in the ember

Burning low but it never dies

Hands outstretched to catch what's turning over

Warmth like a voice I recognize

Outro

Gold in the ember

Catching me
