[Verse 1]
My fire burned out a long time ago,
Only smoke and cold shadows remain.
The earth pulls me down, mud up to my knees,
Every breath I take just drags me further in.

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m screaming, but my voice sinks like a stone,
No one hears — or that’s what I believed.
Then suddenly, in the silence of a breathless night,
A figure appeared, walking toward me.

[Chorus]
And it was a Stranger — someone I’d never known,
Reached out a hand when I’d already let go.
Lifted me from the mud though he barely stood,
Whispered, “You can still walk — don’t give up for good.”
And then the darkness cracked with a broken beam of light,
And I realized I wasn’t alone tonight.

[Verse 2]
I gathered what was left of my fading faith,
Though my scars weighed heavy like an ancient stone.
He spoke softly: “I know this hurt you carry,
But you’re still breathing — that’s the greatest gift you own.”

[Pre-Chorus]
And though he was a stranger, he sounded familiar,
Like an echo of dreams I once had but forgot.
In his eyes flickered someone else’s pain —
Maybe that’s why he knew how to pull me from the spot.

[Chorus]
’Cause he was a Stranger — someone I’d never known,
Reached out a hand when I’d already let go.
Lifted me from the mud though he barely stood,
Whispered, “You can still walk — don’t give up for good.”
And then the darkness cracked with a broken beam of light,
And I realized I wasn’t alone tonight.

[Bridge]
Maybe tomorrow he’ll vanish, go his own way,
Maybe he was just a shadow passing by.
But that one moment changed my whole world —
A stranger gave me strength I no longer had inside.

[Final Chorus]
He was a Stranger — maybe an angel in disguise,
Arriving at the moment of my final breath.
He pulled me from the mud, and the night lost its edge,
As he whispered softly, “It’s not your time yet.”
And in that moment, for the first time in years,
I felt like I could step back into the light.
