 Soulful Shelves

[Verse]

A room so empty feels so cold

Walls are whispering stories untold

No pages turning no tales to unfold

It's like a body with no soul to hold

[Chorus]

Fill it up with love fill it up with light

Bring the words to dance in the quiet night

Books on the shelves make the world feel whole

A room without them leaves a hole in the soul

[Verse 2]

Paper and ink they bring the spark

In a silent space they sing in the dark

Wisdom and wonder from cover to spine

Each one a treasure a piece of time

[Chorus]

Fill it up with love fill it up with light

Bring the words to dance in the quiet night

Books on the shelves make the world feel whole

A room without them leaves a hole in the soul

[Bridge]

Oh the stories they hold the journeys they weave

Each chapter a heartbeat each word we believe

Without them we’re lost like stars with no sky

A room without books makes the spirit run dry

[Chorus]

Fill it up with love fill it up with light

Bring the words to dance in the quiet night

Books on the shelves make the world feel whole

A room without them leaves a hole in the soul
