Breath of a New Dawn

Golden light on the water's edge Soft wind whispers, you're not dead For the first time in a long, long while I let the silence make me smile Yesterday's weight still lingers in my bones But the air feels lighter, the pain feels known Still got scars, still got ghosts But I'm not drowning, I'm learning to float I was trapped in the night, lost in the gray But the sky cracked open and washed it away No more running, no more chains I can breathe again, I can face the day Breathe in deep, let the light pour in Feel the dawn kiss my skin Yesterday tried to pull me under But I rise like rolling thunder I'm standing strong This is the breath of a new dawn Footsteps steady on this brand new ground Every heartbeat sings a brand new sound No more silence holding me still I'm chasing the sun, it's all my will I was trapped in the night, lost in the gray But the sky cracked open and washed it away No more running, no more chains I can breathe again, I can face the day Breathe in deep, let the light pour in Feel the dawn kiss my skin Yesterday tried to pull me under But I rise like rolling thunder I'm standing strong This is the breath of a new dawn I can see it now The storm is gone, the sky is loud No more drowning, no more fear I was lost, but now I'm here Breathe in deep, let the light pour in Feel the dawn kiss my skin Yesterday tried to pull me under But I rise like rolling thunder I'm standing strong This is the breath of a new dawn One more breath, one more step Not there yet, but I won't forget The night is gone, the past withdrawn I'm alive in the breath of a new dawn
