lyrics

“Stay Soft” by Julz Ilang-Bulan

Verse 1:
It's 6am and sleep won't come
I'm thinking about how quickly this night has gone
Was this a dream?

Verse 2:
The birds are singing, the sun's coming through
I hear my heart aching
This feeling of home stays lingering,
When I’m close to you

Pre-Chorus:
It's all too familiar, we've been here before
infinite wisdom, swirling around in my core
I'm home with you

Chorus:
Darling,
Darling with you
When life feels too hard to bear
Remember our gentleness

Darling,
Darling with you
We shine like the elder moon
We heal through our ancient truths

Hook:
Stay soft, so soft, oh
Stay soft, so soft, oh
Stay soft, so soft, oh

Verse 3:
We breathe in the morning
The hardest goodbye
You slip through the doorway
I sit on the edge of this lifetime
come home again, cuz

Chorus:
Darling
Darling with you
When life feels too hard to bear
Remember our gentleness

Darling
Darling with you
We shine like the elder moon
We heal through our ancient truths

Hook:
Stay soft, so soft, oh
Stay soft, so soft, oh
Stay soft, so soft, oh

Stay
Soft
Stay
Soft
