Held

Verse 1

When the world grows loud and the heart grows tight,

When the mind forgets its softness and the body holds the night,

There’s a whisper in the silence, gentle as a breath exhaled—

Surrender is the soul remembering

That it is held.

Chorus

Held in a love that never falters,

Held in a truth that never fades,

Held in the arms of something ancient

That has carried us through every change.

Surrender is the soul remembering

What it always knew so well—

We are held.

Verse 2

When the fear begins its trembling and the doubts begin to rise,

When the path ahead is hidden and the tears fill up our eyes,

There’s a warmth beneath the worry, like a tide beneath a swell—

Surrender is the soul remembering

That it is held.

Chorus

Held in a love that never falters,

Held in a truth that never fades,

Held in the arms of something ancient

That has carried us through every change.

Surrender is the soul remembering

What it always knew so well—

We are held.

Bridge

Oh, the letting go is holy,

Oh, the falling back is grace.

Every time we soften open,

We return to that embrace.

Not a weakness, not a failure,

Just the truth the heart can tell—

We are held.

Final Chorus

Held in a love that never falters,

Held in a truth that never fades,

Held in the arms of something ancient

That has carried us through every change.

Surrender is the soul remembering

What it always knew so well—

We are held.

Outro

So breathe into the quiet,

Let the trembling gently melt.

Surrender is the soul remembering

It has never been alone—

It has always, always

Been held.

If you want, I can also shape this into a chant, a hymn, or a more mystical, mantra-like version that repeats the core line as a refrain.
