(Verse 1) Tea is hot and the kitchen is cold Shadows stretch out as the stories are told My boots by the door they know the way Waiting for the first light of another hard day I feel the weight right here in my chest Gotta find a place where my spirit can rest But the work is there and the time is now I'm gonna push through this field and guide this plow (Chorus) The sunrise calls me outside With nowhere left to hide I'll stand up tall today And drive the dark away Tomorrow's mountains will fall I will answer the call (Verse 2) Hands are rough and they're covered in scars We spent a lifetime just chasing the stars No use in running from what I must be This gravel road is the maker of me I'll take the blows and I'll stand my ground They'll never see me just backing on down A man has a duty a promise to keep Long after everyone else is asleep (Chorus) The sunrise calls me outside With nowhere left to hide I'll stand up tall today And drive the dark away Tomorrow's mountains will fall I will answer the call (Bridge) It ain't about the storms you face It's how you hold your pride and place I will not break I will not bend I will be standing at the end (Chorus) The sunrise calls me outside With nowhere left to hide I'll stand up tall today And drive the dark away Tomorrow's mountains will fall I will answer the call (Outro) I'm ready now I'm ready now (I'm ready now) Let the sun rise I'm ready now
