[Verse 1] You found me when the season had gone cold When everything I’d started had grown old You didn’t say a word, you didn’t need to try You just held the ember close enough to mine
[Pre-Chorus] And something caught Something spread Something woke in me I thought had long gone dead Pass it on Keep it moving You don’t know how far a single ember’s going
[Chorus] Ember transmission Person to person, hand to hand Carry on with the transition One small glow becomes a stand What you gave me, I’ll give forward That’s how the whole thing starts Passed between our open hands Ember transmission
[Verse 2] Every generation holds the chain Every time one person takes the strain Carries what they can until they find Someone strong enough to carry what’s behind
[Pre-Chorus] And something caught… Something passed Something hopeful sparked inside our souls Pass it on Keep it moving You don’t know how far a single ember’s going
[Chorus] Ember transmission Person to person, hand to hand Carry on with the transition One small glow becomes a stand What you gave me, I’ll give forward That’s how the whole thing starts Passed between our open hands Ember transmission

[Bridge - builds] You don’t start a wildfire from a match You start it from the person who holds what’s left intact One to one, then two to four, then four to more That’s how the warmth outlasts the coldest winter’s core
[Final Chorus - hopeful vocals, key lift] Ember transmission Person to person, hand to hand Carry on with the transition One small glow becomes a stand What you gave me, I’ll give forward That’s how the whole thing starts Passed between our open hands Ember transmission
[Final Chorus - hopeful vocals, another key lift] From hand to hand, we light the flame A single spark, a rising chain What you gave, I’ll carry on And pass it through when I am gone Open hearts, no end in sight Smallest glow becomes the light Ever moving, ever free— This ember passed through you and me
