Takes

Lyrics

[verse]

Goodbye to the kindness that walked among us plain

You gave your light so freely, never counting any gain

Your name became a shelter for the tired and the lost

Now the world grows quieter, but remembers what it cost

[chorus]

And even though you left us in the hush of one still night

Your gentle flame keeps burning, a soft and steady light

We'll carry you in gardens, and in every kindly deed

You planted in the silence more than anyone could see

[verse]

They say the brightest spirits leave the earliest of all

Like a melody unfinished, like the first of autumn's fall

But every act of kindness that you scattered on your way

Still blooms in strangers' hearts to this very day

[chorus]

And even though you left us in the hush of one still night

Your gentle flame keeps burning, a soft and steady light

We'll carry you in gardens, and in every kindly deed

You planted in the silence more than anyone could see

[bridge]

So rest now in the quiet, let the wind carry your name

Across the fields and cities that were softened by your flame

We'll speak of you in whispers, in every act of grace

And know that love like yours can never be erased

[chorus]

And even though you left us in the hush of one still night

Your gentle flame keeps burning, a soft and steady light

We'll carry you in gardens, and in every kindly deed

You planted in the silence more than anyone could see

[verse]
Goodbye to the kindness that walked among us plain
You gave your light so freely, never counting any gain
Your name became a shelter for the tired and the lost
Now the world grows quieter, but remembers what it cost

[chorus]
And even though you left us in the hush of one still night
Your gentle flame keeps burning, a soft and steady light
We'll carry you in gardens, and in every kindly deed
You planted in the silence more than anyone could see

[verse]
They say the brightest spirits leave the earliest of all
Like a melody unfinished, like the first of autumn's fall
But every act of kindness that you scattered on your way
Still blooms in strangers' hearts to this very day

[chorus]
And even though you left us in the hush of one still night
Your gentle flame keeps burning, a soft and steady light
We'll carry you in gardens, and in every kindly deed
You planted in the silence more than anyone could see

[bridge]
So rest now in the quiet, let the wind carry your name
Across the fields and cities that were softened by your flame
We'll speak of you in whispers, in every act of grace
And know that love like yours can never be erased

[chorus]
And even though you left us in the hush of one still night
Your gentle flame keeps burning, a soft and steady light
We'll carry you in gardens, and in every kindly deed
You planted in the silence more than anyone could see
