Another night, another endless drive
Alone with thoughts, I barely survive
The gun waits for me, cold on the shelf
Tonight's the night I end myself
The street lights blur, the road turns gray
No reason left to see another day
But through the rain, a figure appears
And her fall halts the wait of my years
I stop to help just one small thing
Not knowing the hope her smile would bring
A trembling hand, a grateful face
A spark of life in an empty space
She stumbled hard, her knees were bruised
Said, thank you stranger, her voice amused
I drove her home, just trying to be kind
But somehow she left a mark on my mind
Come in for coffee, she softly said
A warmth in her eyes I thought was dead
I crossed her door, left the dark outside
And for the first time, my pain took stride
I stopped to help just one small thing
Not knowing the hope her smile would bring
A trembling hand, a grateful face
A spark of life in an empty space
The coffee steamed, her laughter warmed
A broken heart by kindness transformed
Two strangers, both lost in the night
Found something real in the soft kitchen light
I stopped to help just one small thing
Not knowing the hope her smile would bring
A trembling hand, a grateful face
A spark of life in an empty space
The gun stayed cold, untouched that night
A chance encounter pulled me to the light
Sometimes salvation wears no crown
Just a woman who trips and turns it around
