Steady as the Morning

Verse 1 I woke with the hush of a promise kept The kettle hums where my sorrow slept Hands still marked by the weight I bore But steadier now than the day before Pre‑Chorus (soft choir hum; rap echoes) What tried to break me only taught me grace What held me down gave me sacred space Chorus (gang vocals; gospel lift) Steady as the morning — I rise with a song in my chest Grateful through the aching — I carry the light I possess Steady as the morning — I walk with a fire in my bones Given not alone — I am held, I am known Verse 2 Streets still whisper the names I lost But I wear my story without the cost Armor stitched from the quiet days Threaded with mercy, lined with praise Pre‑Chorus (choir hum; echo ad‑libs) What tried to shame me only made me bold What left me empty taught me to hold Chorus (bigger; choir harmonies) Steady as the morning — I rise with a song in my chest Grateful through the aching — I carry the light I possess Steady as the morning — I walk with a fire in my bones Given not alone — I am held, I am known Bridge / Spoken Blessing (intimate) (Spoken) For every hand that lifted me, for every voice that named me true, I return a steady heart. Let these songs be shelter. Let them be sky. Final Chorus (key shift to E major; full choir & strings) Steady as the morning — I rise with a song in my chest Grateful through the aching — I carry the light I possess Steady as the morning — I walk with a fire in my bones Given not alone — I am held, I am known Outro (soft tag) Held, known — steady as the morning (x3) Mobition and Didy T
