Clear as Morning Light

The bottle whispered in the dead of night,

Promised me warmth, promised me light.

But the sun rose cold on a shaky hand,

The kind of truth you can't quite stand.

I swore I'd leave, I swore I'd try,

But the devil laughed, said, "Not tonight."

Now it's clear as morning light,

The road ahead, the wrong from right.

The haze is gone, the pain's in view,

But I see the world, and it's something new.

Clear as morning light.

I left that bar on the edge of town,

Where ghosts of my past would pull me down.

Found a church with peeling white paint,

Prayed like a sinner, lived like a saint.

Each step I take feels like a fight,

But my soul grows stronger in the quiet night.

Now it's clear as morning light,

The road ahead, the wrong from right.

The haze is gone, the pain's in view,

But I see the world, and it's something new.

Clear as morning light.
