Grounded Dawn

[Intro] Morning light on brick and bloom in the air Drying little worries, nothing left to spare [Verse 1] I stand in front of the wall, orange like a sunrise small, blue jeans grounding me Breath steady, steady now, feet planted, here and now, I listen to the city breathe Simple truths in the quiet hum of dawn, the day begins where I belong [Chorus] I am here, I am real, in the space between the rush and steel Grounded, present, I take it slow, every heartbeat teaching me to go I’m ready for the ordinary, ready to start with what I can feel [Verse 2] A hat of sunlight, a pocket of calm, I zip up the morning, I’m ready to roam Plans may ripple like a street of chrome, but I stay steady, close to home The wall keeps a memory of stillness, the shirt holds a color I know is true [Chorus] I am here, I am real, in the space between the rush and steel Grounded, present, I take it slow, every heartbeat teaching me to go I’m ready for the ordinary, ready to start with what I can feel [Bridge] Footsteps on the pavement, a quiet drum for the day I carry a simple courage, in the small choices I make [Chorus] I am here, I am real, in the space between the rush and steel Grounded, present, I take it slow, every heartbeat teaching me to go I’m ready for the ordinary, ready to start with what I can feel [Outro] Brick and breeze, I move with the dawn, a moment held in my daylong song
