[Intro] Quiet room One deep breath Hands still shaking Heart not yet [Verse 1] You trace old scars Like they’re lines on a map Asking where did I lose me Where’s the way to get back Every step feels heavy Like the ground might give in But you’re still here Still breathing That’s where stories begin [Chorus] Hold on to the dawn Even when the sky looks broken You’re stronger than the storm You are not the words once spoken When the night says you are gone I can see you still alive Hold on Hold on to the dawn You will rise You will survive [Verse 2] All those quiet failures Folded under your bed Names you called your reflection Echo loud in your head But there’s light in your trembling There’s a fire in your doubt Every time that you stand up That’s you fighting your way out [Chorus] Hold on to the dawn Even when the sky looks broken You’re stronger than the storm You are not the words once spoken When the night says you are gone I can see you still alive Hold on Hold on to the dawn You will rise You will survive [Bridge] Believe in the bruise Believe in the tear Every crack in your heart Lets the daylight appear You are more than your fear More than all that you’ve lost Every breath that you’re taking Is a bridge you have crossed (oh) [Chorus] Hold on to the dawn Even when the sky looks broken You’re stronger than the storm You are not the words once spoken When the night says you are gone I can see you still alive Hold on Hold on to the dawn You will rise You will survive [Outro] So breathe once more Just one more try Hope is quiet But it never lies Hold on to the dawn In your own brave eyes You’re still here Still here You will survive
