[Verse 1] The semis on the highway Drone on through the night While the world is sleeping Their deadlines hold them tight There's silence in the halls The house is quiet and still The ticking moments passing My heart's beating as it will [Verse 2] It's in the quiet before the dawn When the clock is striking three That a peace comes to visit And settles deep in me The shadows stretch out long Beneath silver moonbeams And the neighbourhood is resting Lost inside its dreams [Pre Chorus] Windows catch the early gold As shadows stretch along the way Trees awaken with the light To welcome in another day [Chorus] Sunrise before the world wakes up Before the noise, before the rush There's a moment I can keep That falls when everything is hushed Where the world is still and quiet And it doesn't hurt to breathe It's in these silent moments I have everything I need [Verse 3] Kettle hums on its slow boil Steam drifting to the sky The sounds of daybreak calling As the morning starts to rise A motorbike out on the backroads Such a haunting sound Till it fades into the distance Leaving silence all around [Bridge] It's different every time But still the same somehow I wake up every morning And just listen to the now To the soft and quiet silence Ringing gently clear and loud Filling up the emptiness With the music of no sound [Chorus] Sunrise before the world wakes up Before the noise, before the rush There's a moment I can keep That falls when everything is hushed Where the world is still and quiet And it doesn't hurt to breathe It's in these silent moments I have everything I need [Outro] When my world is still and quiet And it doesn't hurt to breathe In these silent moments I have everything I need
