One More Morning

Tempo: Slow build, Starts with a single heartbeat kick drum and distant piano

V5.5

---

(Verse 1 – sparse piano, single vocal)
I woke up with my hands shaking,
Mirror showed a face I'm not making.
Pills on the counter, bottle on the floor,
Same damn war as the day before.
I told myself, "Just one more time,"
Then I told myself, "That's the last lie."
The clock keeps ticking but I'm stuck in place,
Chasing a ghost I can't embrace.

(Pre-Chorus – drums enter, soft)
Somebody tell me—does it ever end?
Or do you just learn to bend and bend?
I'm not asking for an easy way,
Just give me strength to face today.

(Chorus – full band, gospel swell)
One more morning, I'm still here,
One more battle, still not clear,
But I'm breathing, and that's a win,
Even when the war is deep within.
For the ones just starting to fall,
And the ones who've climbed the wall,
For the ones who slipped back down—
This song is your holy ground.
You're not alone in the dark,
We all got our own spark.
Keep fighting—just one more morning.

(Verse 2 – softer, intimate)
I remember the first time it felt like peace,
A numb that made the chaos cease.
But peace that's bought is peace that's borrowed,
Leaves you emptier tomorrow.
Now I'm sitting in a room with strangers,
Sharing all my deepest dangers.
And they nod—'cause they know the face,
Of a soul running from its own space.

(Pre-Chorus – builds)
Somebody tell me—am I still me?
Or who I was before the debris?
I'm not asking for a miracle,
Just a hand that's not invisible.

(Chorus – bigger, choir backing)
One more morning, I'm still here,
One more battle, still not clear,
But I'm breathing, and that's a win,
Even when the war is deep within.
For the ones just starting to fall,
And the ones who've climbed the wall,
For the ones who slipped back down—
This song is your holy ground.
You're not alone in the dark,
We all got our own spark.
Keep fighting—just one more morning.

(Bridge – stripped back to just vocals and a heartbeat)
And if you fall tonight,
I won't judge the fight.
Fall on your knees, fall on the floor,
Just fall towards the door.
The door is always open,
Even when hope is broken.
You took a step—that's not defeat,
That's the bravest thing on the street.
For every relapse, every cry,
Every time you asked "why, God, why?"
You're still here—that's the proof,
That the truth is still in you.

(Breakdown – spoken-sung, raw, like a confession)
To the mother hiding in the bathroom,
To the father in the car,
To the kid who thinks they're nothing,
You're a supernova star.
This ain't about perfection,
This is about direction,
Even crawling is moving—
Even broken is choosing.

(Final Chorus – massive key change, full orchestra, ad-libs)
ONE MORE MORNING, I'M STILL ALIVE,
ONE MORE REASON TO SURVIVE,
It ain't pretty, it ain't clean,
But it's the realest thing I've seen.
For the warriors in the silence,
For the ones who fight in violence,
For the ones who whisper, "I can't"—
You can. You can. You can.
You're not alone in the dark,
We all got our own spark.
Keep fighting—
(ad-lib: "Just breathe...")
Just one more—
(ad-lib: "Just get through this second...")
Morning.

(Outro – a cappella, fading)
One more step.
One more breath.
One more...
(whisper)
...morning.
(silence) .... polo energy

(Intro – spoken, raw, no music) They told me it gets easier. They lied. They told me it gets harder. They lied too. The truth? It just... stays. And you learn to stay with it. This is for the ones still using. This is for the ones still choosing. This is for the ones who made it through today— and the ones who didn't. --- (Verse 1 – sparse piano, single vocal) I woke up with my hands shaking, Mirror showed a face I'm not making.
