Lyrics
[Intro – Soft Piano, Strings, Distant Choir] Hmmmm... Before we knew our names... Before we spoke our first words... Before we dreamed our first dreams... We were given a gift... A little time. And a chance to love. [Verse 1] We arrive like morning sunlight, Quietly touching the earth, A breath becoming a heartbeat, A life discovering its worth. We gather moments and memories, We learn to laugh and cry, We hold the hands of strangers, Who become the reason why. Some stay for many seasons, Some journeys feel too brief, Yet every soul that touches ours Leaves something underneath. [Pre-Chorus] The years may pass like rivers, The days may fade from sight, But love keeps writing stories Long after goodnight. [Chorus] 🌍 Nothing loved is ever lost, Nothing given disappears. Every laugh, Every lesson, Lives beyond the passing years. Though our hands may one day part, And our voices fade from view, Love keeps walking through the world In the lives we touched and knew. 🌍 Nothing loved is ever lost, Not a dream, Not a song. For the heart remembers forever What the soul has carried along. [Verse 2] A mother's voice, A father's wisdom, A friend's familiar smile, The little things we thought were ordinary Travel every mile. An empty chair can still hold stories, A photograph can still speak, And somewhere in the life of another The love we gave still breathes. For every kindness shared in passing, Every burden helped along, Becomes a light inside another Long after we are gone. [Pre-Chorus] The stars keep shining after sunset, The ocean sings after the tide, And love keeps finding ways to live On the other side. [Chorus] 🌍 Nothing loved is ever lost, Nothing given disappears. Every laugh, Every lesson, Lives beyond the passing years. Though our hands may one day part, And our voices fade from view, Love keeps walking through the world In the lives we touched and knew. 🌍 Nothing loved is ever lost, Not a dream, Not a song. For the heart remembers forever What the soul has carried along. [Bridge – Choir Rising] Maybe life and death are not opposites. Maybe they are chapters In the same beautiful story. One teaches us how to arrive. The other teaches us how to let go. And between them... We are given the chance To love deeply. To forgive freely. To lift another soul. To leave the world brighter than we found it. Because what we give away in love Never leaves with us. [Final Chorus – Full Choir] 🌍 Nothing loved is ever lost, Nothing given disappears. Every laugh, Every lesson, Lives beyond the passing years. Every dream we helped awaken, Every hand that we held strong, Lives beyond the edge of leaving And carries us along. 🌍 Nothing loved is ever lost, Not a dream, Not a song. For the heart remembers forever What the soul has carried along. And every life we've touched with kindness Keeps a part of us alive. [Outro – Piano & Choir Fade] One day... Someone will speak your name. Someone will remember your smile. Someone will carry your courage. Someone will pass on your kindness. And somewhere... In a heart you helped to heal... A part of you will still be living. Because love never learned how to die. Hmmmm...
