Lyrics:

The candles trembled in the breeze,

A gentle prayer beneath the trees,

We stood together welcoming the night.

But suddenly the world grew cold,

A shattered peace no words could hold,

And Bondi froze beneath the failing light.

Chorus:

Still we whisper through the breaking:

“Hold the flame, keep it awake.”

A quiet vow the heart keeps making,

A fragile song that sorrow doesn’t take.

I held the moment in my hand,

The shaken crowd, the scattered sand,

A kind of hurt that time can’t wash away.

And though the tide erased their tracks,

The memory keeps pulling back,

Their courage rises like the light of day.

Chorus: Still we…

Oh, the night was long,

But somehow we stayed strong,

Their light is carried on.

And though we mourn,

A hope is born,

Like quiet fire at dawn.

So here we stand beside the sea,

With all we lost, with all we’ll be,

And though the world can fall apart in two.

We’ll lift the light they couldn’t break,

A flame the darkness won’t unmake,

And every breath becomes a tribute true.

Chorus: Still we whisper…
