Red Envelope Dreams

I was holding on to something small A little spark inside the

noise

Everybody had a reason

To call it nothing but a choice

The room was cold,

the screen was blue

The bell was quiet on the wire

I kept saying, just one more try

Like doubt could turn into fire

And maybe I was wrong

Maybe they were right

But something in that envelope

Kept moving through the night

So let it run

Even when the road gets heavy

Let it run

When nobody believes

If all we have

Is one small way to start again

Send it out

And see if it comes back again

There were nights I almost lost it

There were calls I couldn't make

But every laugh became an echo Every no became a sign

That the future doesn't shout first

It just waits there for its time

A little red against the dark

A quiet sound, a second chance We'll let it run
