The Dawn Knows Your Name

V5.5

[Opening — Artist Two] When the night comes down, let it call your name, I’ll be out in the wild wind carrying the flame. They can break every road, they can cover the sun, But you’ll still find a way when there’s nowhere to run. You’re more than the past, more than the pain, You were never alone—the dawn knows your name. Oh-oh, the dawn knows your name. Oh-oh, the dawn knows your name. [Verse 1 — Artist One] I grew up where the welcome signs ended, One bow, cold snow, no blessing. They looked at me strange like the truth was contagious, So I learned every trail and outran all their cages. Found a blue little ghost in the palm of my hand, Heard a world under ours that was lost in the sand. Every answer got heavier, every mile got longer, But the girl they abandoned kept coming back stronger. I was chasing a reason, they were calling it fate, I was breaking through doors they were guarding with faith. Had a voice in my head when the road became pain: “You don’t need their permission to remember your name.” [Turn — Artist One] So let the ground move. Let the old walls shake. I’ve already lost enough To know what I won’t let them take. [Chorus — Artist Two] When the night comes down, let it call your name, I’ll be out in the wild wind carrying the flame. They can break every road, they can cover the sun, But you’ll still find a way when there’s nowhere to run. You’re more than the past, more than the pain, You were never alone—the dawn knows your name. Oh-oh, the dawn knows your name. Oh-oh, the dawn knows your name. [Verse 2 — Artist One] I went west where the red took hold, Where the brightest machines had the coldest souls. Kept the ones who believed at the edge of my vision, Thought distance was strength, thought love blurred the mission. I could silence a warning, put an arrow through steel, But I couldn’t outrun everything I refused to feel. Then the hands I protected reached back when I fell, And the weight of the world wasn’t mine by myself. Now the fight isn’t smaller, the danger’s still real, But a wound closes faster when you let someone heal it. I spent all of my life trying not to need saving— Now I know being loved doesn’t make me worth breaking. [Turn — Artist One] Let the storm rise. Let the red rain fall. I don’t have to stand alone Just to prove that I can stand at all. [Chorus — Artist Two] When the night comes down, let it call your name, I’ll be out in the wild wind carrying the flame. They can break every road, they can cover the sun, But you’ll still find a way when there’s nowhere to run. You’re more than the past, more than the pain, You were never alone—the dawn knows your name. Oh-oh, the dawn knows your name. Oh-oh, the dawn knows your name. [Bridge — Artist One and Artist Two] Artist One: I don’t know where the road ends. Artist Two: You don’t need every answer. Artist One: I’m wearing the face of a life that is gone. Artist Two: But the life that you choose is your own. Artist One: What if I’m not enough when the whole sky changes? Artist Two: You were enough before they knew what your name was. Both: If the old world ends at the edge of the blue, We’ll be standing there, making something new. [Final Chorus — Both Artists] When the night comes down, let it call my name, I’ll be out in the wild wind carrying the flame. You can break every road, you can cover the sun, But I’ll still find a way when there’s nowhere to run. I’m more than the past, more than the pain, I was never alone—the dawn knows my name. Oh-oh, the dawn knows my name. Oh-oh, the dawn knows my name. [Final Lift — Artist Two] Let the mountains hear it, Let it travel through the rain. She was never just an echo— The dawn knows her name. [Outro — Artist One] I spent my whole life looking backward For the reason that I came. Now the future’s right in front of me— And it already knows my name.
