Dawn Within

[Intro] Gentle dawn pours through the clouds, a slow, hopeful glow I tracing steps I learned to take when streets were cold [Verse 1] I walked through nights where every shadow wore my name But I kept a small, fierce ember burning in the frame The rain fell steady, washing grit into my bones Each bruise a map that led me back to rooms I own [Pre-Chorus] I learned to listen for a lighter breath inside To rise again, to choose the light instead of pride [Chorus] Light breaks the horizon, I rise with it anew Brighter than the pain, I’m choosing something true Step by step, I find my voice returning strong This heart keeps beating forward, where I belong [Verse 2] The turning point arrived like a quiet, steadfast door I walked inside and found the courage waiting on the floor Mist clears from valleys once unseen by tired eyes I see a future painted in gold across the skies [Pre-Chorus] I learned to carry hope like a lantern in my hands To stand whole again, to heal with quiet plans [Chorus] Light breaks the horizon, I rise with it anew Brighter than the pain, I’m choosing something true Step by step, I find my voice returning strong This heart keeps beating forward, where I belong [Bridge] If fear still whispers, I answer with a stronger sound I’ve learned that steady courage gathers higher ground [Chorus] Light breaks the horizon, I rise with it anew Brighter than the pain, I’m choosing something true Step by step, I find my voice returning strong This heart keeps beating forward, where I belong [Outro] The dawn is clear, my spirit tuned to brighter tunes I walk toward tomorrow under forgiving moons I am renewed, I am ready, I am enough
