2025 Competition Lyrics Entry:

Here He Comes by Mark Olson

Lyrics

I’ve been lost in the whisper of a city street,
In the echoes of dreams that never quite meet.
Time’s a thief and I’ve been counting on doubt,
When the shadows came, I thought you’d check out.

But I haven’t seen him since that summer spin,
Thought I’d closed the door to the places we’ve been.
Then out of the blue, like a breath in the wind,
Here comes my prince, just when I thought I’d given in.

The days turned to nights, just me and my ghosts,
Living in pictures of moments I miss most.
But the heart’s a compass, led by an unseen hand,
When he walked through the door, I finally understand.

‘Cause I haven’t seen him since that fading light,
Thought our story was lost in a restless night.
But here comes my prince, like a fire that won’t end,
Just when I lost hope, he’s back to mend.

And in the silence, I hear the melody,
It’s a tune of redemption, whispering softly,
Every twist in the road led me here by design,
Back to your heart, where the stars align.

‘Cause I haven’t seen him since the last goodbye,
Thought I’d build a fortress to hide from the sky.
But here comes my prince, oh, the way that he grins,
Right on time, right on cue, love always wins.

So I’ll take this moment, in the glow of your grace,
Knowing that life sometimes turns, just to find your place.
I haven’t seen him since, but now I see clear,
Here comes my prince, and I’ll always hold him near.
