[Intro]
Dawn breaks slow, shadows fall
Echoes of a restless call
[Verse 1]
I can't afford the groceries, I can't afford these dreams
Labor on my shoulders, tearing at the seams
Workin' day and night just to survive
Holding on to hope, trying to stay alive
[Pre-Chorus]
Calloused hands, trembling but strong
Fighting to hold on all night long
[Chorus]
Out in the dark, I get up before the sun
Chasing yesterday's hope, trying to outrun the gun
Lost in the struggle, but I won't give in
Rising from the ashes, let the new day begin
[Bridge]
There's only so many days I can hang on this way
Gotta find a new dawn or I'm bound to stray
But deep inside, I hear a distant call
Whispering softly, I can still stand tall
[Outro]
As the sun breaks through, I lift my eyes
A new day’s coming, under open skies
