Teach Me the Morning
**[Verse 1]** I wore my failures like a fitted coat, Buttoned every word I never spoke. Built a little kingdom out of broken beams, Fed myself on half-forgotten dreams. Every mile I made was one more scar, Still I dragged that weight exactly where you are. If hope was fire, mine burned slow, Just enough to keep the embers glowing low. **[Pre-Chorus]** If every wrong road carved my name, Maybe every loss was not in vain. Maybe every shattered stone I knew Built the bridge that carried me to you. **[Chorus]** Teach me the morning— I've lived too long beneath the rain. Show me the color That survived inside the pain. If I was born for more than merely breathing, Pull me from the pull beneath. Teach me the morning... Before I run back to the dark I used to need. **[Verse 2]** Every mirror threw a different face, Every victory still felt misplaced. Hands were shaking, heart was out of tune, Still I chased another borrowed moon. I don't need a crown to prove my worth, I just need one reason not to curse this earth. Every heartbeat learned another song, Even when the silence sang along. **[Pre-Chorus]** If every closed door shaped these hands, Maybe broken wasn't always damned. Maybe all the nights that wouldn't end Only taught the daylight how to mend. **[Chorus]** Teach me the morning— I've lived too long beneath the rain. Show me the color That survived inside the pain. If I was born for more than merely breathing, Pull me from the pull beneath. Teach me the morning... Before I run back to the dark I used to need. **[Bridge]** Don't let comfort wear a dead man's face, Don't let fear convince me this is grace. Don't let yesterday become my chain, Don't let shelter turn to rust again. If my feet still tremble, let them climb, If my lungs still falter, give me time. I'd rather shake beneath the open sky Than safely spend another life asking why. **[Final Chorus]** Teach me the morning— Even if the light cuts through my eyes. Even if tomorrow Feels too holy to survive. I'm done mistaking numbness for a shelter, Done pretending less is peace. Teach me the morning... And I'll become the man I couldn't be. **[Outro]** The sun was never something I should fear. It was waiting... For me to finally appear.
