[Verse 1] I wake to grit in my teeth Boots by the bed, same stain Sun on the floorboard cracks Like it feels my pain The kettle sighs once My hands shake a little hard I look in the glass and wonder How long I’ve had this scar [Pre-Chorus] If the sky stays blue I keep walking through If the ground gives way I’m here today [Chorus] Every day you wake up Every day you wake up Maybe you die, maybe you live Every day you wake up Every day you wake up Take what the dawn still gives (Every day you wake up) [Verse 2] I seen men talk real proud Then fold at the screen door A laugh in the yard goes cold And nobody asks for more My old dog sleeps by the fence Ears twitching at the wind He knows when a shadow moves He knows where trouble’s been [Pre-Chorus] If the sky stays blue I keep walking through If the ground gives way I’m here today [Chorus] Every day you wake up Every day you wake up Maybe you die, maybe you live Every day you wake up Every day you wake up Take what the dawn still gives (Every day you wake up) [Bridge] I don’t pray for forever I just ask for one more mile One more cup of daylight One more crooked smile If the dark comes calling Let it find me standing straight With dust on my shoulders And a heart free from hate [Final Chorus] Every day you wake up Every day you wake up Maybe you die, maybe you live Every day you wake up Every day you wake up Take what the dawn still gives (Every day you wake up) Every day you wake up Every day you wake up That’s the only truth I live
