When the Light Turns Amber

The road goes quiet at the end of day

The colors soften, slow their pace

I don't need green, I don't need red

I'm learning how to wait

When the light turns amber, I stay

I don't rush the night away

Some things need a moment to land

So I hold my heart in my hands

I used to run from every pause

Like silence meant I'd fall apart

But now I hear what quiet says

It speaks in time, not sparks

When the light turns amber, I stay

I let the world move at its pace

I don't need answers tonight

I just need a softer light

If I'm between where I was and where I'll go

That doesn't mean I'm lost

Some roads are meant to slow you down

So you can feel the cost

When the light turns amber

I stay

Stay
