The Dawn Within Me

In the silence of the fading night, I hear a distant melody. A fragile light begins to rise, Awakening the dawn in me. I walked through storms I could not tame, With weary hands and searching eyes. Holding dreams I feared were gone, Beneath a thousand darkened skies. The scars I bear still tell their tales, Their echoes carried by the wind. Yet every tear became a star, Lighting roads I could not see within. Though I could not see the end, I kept believing through the rain. Every step, every broken moment Gave a purpose to the pain. This is the dawn within me, Rising through the longest night. Every wound became a reason, Every shadow turned to light. This is the dawn within me, Shining where my fears once lay. Through the darkness and the heartache, I found the strength to stay. The night still lingers far behind, Yet it no longer owns my soul. For every road that led me here Has made this broken spirit whole. And as the morning fills the sky, At last I understand: The light I searched for all my life Was always in my hands. The dawn within me still remains... And leads me home again.
