[Intro] The night was long, but I still breathe, a fragile sun is breaking free. Through shattered glass the light comes in, it warms the scars upon my skin. [Verse 1] I’ve carried weight I couldn’t show, buried truths that no one knows. I spoke in silences and sighs, learned how to live with clouded skies. But in the hush before the day, a softer voice begins to say: not every road was made to bleed, not every loss is all I am. [Pre-Chorus] Maybe the storm has had its say, but I’m still standing here today. A broken soul, a battered frame— and still the morning calls my name. [Chorus] Dawn— it whispers I’m alive, a fragile flame survives. Even through the pain I’ve known, Dawn reminds me I’m not alone. Dawn— it colors all the grey, and softly makes a way. I’m more than what the night has shown— Dawn tells me I can go on. [Verse 2] I trace the lines the years have drawn, inked in the dark before the dawn; mistakes that taught, regrets that burn, chapters I swore I couldn’t turn. But sunlight doesn’t judge or heal— it simply shows what’s real is real, then lays a warmth across the ache, so breath by breath I start to wake. [Pre-Chorus] Maybe the storm has had its say, but I’m still standing here today. If I can hold this thread of light, I’ll make it through another night. [Chorus] Dawn— it whispers I’m alive, a fragile flame survives. Even through the pain I’ve known, Dawn reminds me I’m not alone. Dawn— it colors all the grey, and softly makes a way. I’m more than what the night has shown— Dawn tells me I can go on. [Bridge] It’s not forgiveness overnight, it’s not the end of every fight. It’s just a breath I couldn’t find, a steady hand inside my mind. The past will speak, the scars will stay— but I can face them in this day. I’m not the sum of where I’ve been, I’m where the morning lets me begin. [Verse 3] I learned that healing isn’t loud, it doesn’t need a cheering crowd. It’s tea that cools; a window’s glow; a softer pace; the letting go. The light arrives without applause, it slips through all the smallest flaws, and in those cracks I start to see the part of me that wanted me. [Chorus] Dawn— it whispers I’m alive, a fragile flame survives. Even through the pain I’ve known, Dawn reminds me I’m not alone. Dawn— it colors all the grey, and softly makes a way. I’m more than what the night has shown— Dawn tells me I can go on. [Outro] The night was long, but I still breathe, and morning sets my fear at ease. I won’t forget the roads I’ve run but I can walk them in the sun.
