Brighter Now

[Intro] Soft dawn spills on quiet streets, a steady breath begins Dust of doubt drifts away like birds above the rims [Verse 1] I wake with a map drawn in my hands, edges worn and true The road ahead is rough, but the compass points to you Each step a small confession, I’m choosing not to hide The skyline is a promise, lighting up the other side [Pre-Chorus] A whisper in my chest says: keep going, you can try The night may curl around you, but stars are in your skies [Chorus] Raise your eyes, the morning waits with open doors You’ve got a courage you can’t see in the shadows you ignore Breathe in brave, let doubt fall like rain from your brow You’re closer now than you were, and you’ll find your brighter now [Verse 2] Rain taps rhythms on the window, a metronome for doubt I counting every heartbeat as a vow I’m shouting out Though fear wears thin as winter, I’m summer in disguise I’ll bloom through the crack in concrete, with truth as my sunrise [Pre-Chorus] A whisper in my chest says: keep going, you can try The road may bend and tremble, but hope is on your side [Chorus] Raise your eyes, the morning waits with open doors You’ve got a courage you can’t see in the shadows you ignore Breathe in brave, let doubt fall like rain from your brow You’re closer now than you were, and you’ll find your brighter now [Bridge] Break through the fence of fear, where the unknown sighs Step into the light you carry, a fire that never dies [Chorus] Raise your eyes, the morning waits with open doors You’ve got a courage you can’t see in the shadows you ignore Breathe in brave, let doubt fall like rain from your brow You’re closer now than you were, and you’ll find your brighter now [Outro] The road keeps singing softly as I take my final stride Dreams become the footsteps that echo where I stand with pride
