The Shape I Hold Dear

Lyrics
Your eyes hold a weight that the years can’t explain
They shine through the cracks where love hides its pain
You speak like the rivers that run to the sea
With whispers that drown out the doubt inside me

I’ve seen the storms rage, I’ve felt the earth fall
But your voice is a thread that stitches it all
Not soft, not gentle, but certain and clear
A truth that’s a flame, burning bright, drawing near

Oh, the shape of you, carved in my mind
A map of the world I was meant to find
Through the broken roads and the bitter climb
You’ve held me steady, you’ve given me time

You move through the moments that others let fade
A keeper of things the world never made
I watch, and I wonder how one heart contains
The sun and the sorrow, the joy and the rain

And if there’s a story at the end of my days
It’s written in footsteps that walk in your ways
Oh, the shape of you, it’s all I’ve known
The place I return, the place I’ve grown

Oh, the shape of you, carved in my mind
A map of the world I was meant to find
Through the broken roads and the bitter climb
You’ve held me steady, you’ve given me time

Throughout the years, both quiet and wild
You've carried my heart, my love and my child
A friend, a lover, and a beautiful wife
The soul of my journey, the light of my life

During our journey, I’ve learned what is true
Life finds its meaning when I share it with you
In all that I’ve gathered and all I hold near
I carry your love, the shape I hold dear
