Last Light Still Burns — A Song Inspired by LeBron James reflects on whether to keep playing after his 23rd NBA season ended, with family part of the decision

[Verse 1]
The clock keeps asking with its cold white hands
How much road is left for a fireproof man
Tape on the knuckles, miles in the knees
A whole young storm waiting in the seats

[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody wants the curtain, everybody wants the sign
But the heart don't answer on a deadline

[Chorus]
Last light still burns, last light still burns
Not every sunset knows when to turn
If there's one more mile, if there's one more turn
Let the night lean close and watch it learn
Last light still burns

[Verse 2]
He walked off quiet with the noise behind
Family in the doorway, thunder on the line
Twenty-three winters carved into gold
Still there's a boy in the bones who won't do what he?s told

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Don't ask the mirror what the crowd should know
Some fires decide in the dark alone

[Chorus]
Last light still burns, last light still burns
Not every sunset knows when to turn
If there's one more mile, if there's one more turn
Let the night lean close and watch it learn
Last light still burns

[Bridge]
Maybe the crown gets heavy, maybe the road gets thin
Maybe the ending is a door, not a wall closing in
But if the old flame rises when the morning calls his name
Then the last light isn't leaving, it's just changing into flame

[Final Chorus]
Last light still burns, last light still burns
Not every sunset knows when to turn
If there's one more mile, if there's one more turn
Let the night lean close and watch it learn
Last light still burns
Last light still burns
