Lyrics

I’ve walked from the dark through shadows deep
Each step I take is a weight I barely keep
The night was so cold the wind would bite
My heart forgot the taste of light

The road stretched on with no clear end
No voice to call me home again
Still I move though weak and worn
A soul alone a heart still torn

A distant bark I hear through the rain
A trembling spark that breaks through my pain
It’s far away like a ghost in the air
But for the first time in so long… someone’s there

I thought the dark of the war would take me whole
Close every window around my soul
But hope came soft like midnight air
A voice that said “I’m waiting right there”

It pulled me back from where I fell
A thread of sound a silver bell
Through endless miles on silent ground
I walk toward where hope is found

That distant bark rings clear and true
Feels like it’s calling me back to you
The night still weighs but I stand my ground
I walk ahead my head unbowed

Somewhere out there you’re searching too
Following signs I once walked through
Two broken paths that still align
Through the war… toward home… in time

That distant bark — now close and bright
Pulls me on through the wind and night
Each step I take the dark departs
I’m guided home by your beating heart

The rain still falls but I’m not alone
The night still hums — it feels like home
I follow the sound the final mark…
I’m home at last… to that distant bark
