08. Dawn Behind the Grey (live2)

[quiet crowd, close room noise] [spoken words announcement] “Stay close for this one… ‘Dawn Behind the Grey.’” [intro] [instrumental] (jazzy chords) [Verse 1] The road unfolds before me like a memory set free. Every step I’ve taken has been carving out a key. I have carried all my shadows, I have walked through fire and rain. But the silence in the distance starts to whisper through the pain. [Chorus] And I see a light before me, not a promise, not a sign. Just a truth that keeps on rising from the corners of my mind. I have wandered through the darkness, but I’m learning why I came. There’s a fire in the distance and it’s calling out my name. [Instrumental Break – 4 bars] [Verse 2] I have searched for hidden answers, I have fought to stay alive. But the meaning of the journey is the will to still arrive. Every mile becomes a mirror, every breath a quiet vow. And the road that once was endless feels much closer to me now. [Instrumental – atmospheric guitars + strings] [Bridge] If the night begins to tremble, I won’t turn my face away. For the fire in the distance is the dawn behind the grey. [Final Chorus] And I see a light before me, not a promise, not a sign. Just a truth that keeps on rising from the corners of my mind. I have wandered through the darkness, but I’m learning why I came. There’s a fire in the distance and it’s calling out my name. [4-bars Outro piano] [End]
