Softly Chasing Dawn

(Verse 1)

The midnight blue is turning gray

The heavy shadows fade away

My tired heart is beating slow

In this quiet, steady glow

I watch the streetlights lose their glare

A cool breeze drifting through my hair

The world is sleeping, perfectly still

While I am standing on the hill

(Chorus)

And I am softly chasing dawn

Before the dark is fully gone

I whisper secrets to the breeze

And let go of my memories

It’s a gentle, slow release

Finding pockets of my peace

The sun is rising, faint and blue

And I am starting over too

(Verse 2)

The kitchen clock is ticking loud

Outside, a single silver cloud

The coffee cup warms up my hands

While time moves on like shifting sands

I spent the night with heavy thoughts

Untying all the hidden knots

But colors bleed into the sky

And tell the lonely night goodbye

(Chorus)

And I am softly chasing dawn

Before the dark is fully gone

I whisper secrets to the breeze

And let go of my memories

It’s a gentle, slow release

Finding pockets of my peace

The sun is rising, faint and blue

And I am starting over too

(Bridge)

It doesn't happen all at once

The healing takes a few more months

But every shade of pink and gold

Is like a story being told

That light will always find a way

To turn the darkness into day

(Chorus)

And I am softly chasing dawn

Before the dark is fully gone

I whisper secrets to the breeze

And let go of my memories

It’s a gentle, slow release

Finding pockets of my peace

The sun is rising, faint and blue

And I am starting over too

(Outro)

Just softly chasing dawn

The shadows are all gone

The world is waking up

A new day in my cup

Softly chasing dawn

Breathing in, breathing out

Without a single doubt

Softly chasing dawn
