Spring at Daybreak – Tomorrow Is Coming Intro (Solo – Soft & Prayerful) The sky that slept Is opening its eyes This is not the end This is where the morning starts Verse A (Solo → Choir) (Solo) Pure white light is rising now Breaking through yesterday On the edge of distant hills Morning whispers, “You’re okay” (Choir – Gentle) Ooh… keep moving on Ooh… hold on to faith Verse B (All – Building) Purple clouds are leading us Showing us the way Beyond the doubt and wandering They say, “There’s an answer ahead” Chorus (Gospel Style – All) Spring at daybreak! (Hey!) Hope is right here! (Yeah!) Every tear we cried Made us stronger than before Spring at daybreak! (Hey!) The future’s open! (Yeah!) Tomorrow’s calling out Calling out our name! Call & Response (Bright) (Lead) Is the night finally gone? (All) The light has come! (Lead) Are our dreams still far away? (All) They’re coming close—right now! Bridge (Small Group → Full Choir) Even when we fall Even when we pause Morning comes again And again, and again Faith becomes a step And that step becomes the road And that road leads us To tomorrow Key Change Chorus (Big Choir) Spring at daybreak!
