Hold Light

“Hold Light” is a piece about staying coherent in a world trained on reaction. It doesn’t argue. It doesn’t perform outrage. It doesn’t compete for attention. It holds clarity. This track was written from the place that comes after blame, after trauma, after the nervous system stops needing enemies to feel safe. When you step out of the story of “who hurt me” and into the awareness of “what is this pattern teaching,” something inside you quiets — and that quiet becomes power. The lyrics move through pressure, systems, and emotional conditioning without turning any of it into identity. Pain isn’t dismissed here, but it isn’t worshiped either. It’s translated. “Hold Light” is about carrying awareness instead of heat. Truth instead of noise. Presence instead of posture. It’s not a song for winning. It’s a song for staying whole. Written and performed by Zoey Lababy Dabrease for anyone learning how to remain themselves inside a world that profits from fragmentation. 🐉✨ As I lay back with my eyes closed Time slows the design shows divine glows showing another way a hole in the maze Ice is cold but where it go in the blaze ain’t no flow in a cage the days of old control and the rage got souls disengaged But wisdom been growing with age that’s when times turn ’cause minds learned freedom is a dream when it’s confined by terms Misaligned assigned to move blind act fine as we burn That’s when the torch lights We abort fights Support life Using sorce as our sight To change the course When we’re forced to think war’s right Slow it down let the smoke clear If it don’t serve life it don’t live here I don’t chase wars I change sight I don’t fight fire I hold light They taught us tension then sold relief Labeled survival made us compete Turned attention into a leash Now we scroll past pain and forget to breathe I don’t react fast I hold patterns Who benefits when everything shatters If the answer’s profit off fractured lives Then that’s not law that’s by design So I step light but I stand firm No false peace no fake terms I don’t need rage to stay awake I let coherence open the gate Seen loud truth still be hollow Seen quiet acts heal tomorrow I don’t follow fear into form I follow life that’s where change is born Slow it down let the smoke clear If it don’t serve life it don’t live here I don’t chase wars I change sight I don’t fight fire I hold light
