[Verse 1]
Morning paints the walls in gold,
Not the kind that I could hold.
Just enough to help me see
Who I've been becoming quietly.
The silence doesn't feel the same,
It doesn't whisper guilt or shame.
It sounds like breathing after rain,
Like healing learning my name.
---
[Pre-Chorus]
I spent so long
Trying to choose—
The world I dreamed
Or the one I knew.
Maybe I was never
Meant to lose.
---
[Chorus]
I'm half awake,
Half dreaming still.
One foot on the mountain,
One in the valley still.
I don't have to leave
The stars behind.
I can carry all their light
Into this life.
I'm half awake...
And finally alive.
---
[Verse 2]
Every road I couldn't take
Helped me find the one I'd make.
Every ending closed a door,
Then showed me what I was searching for.
I still remember your embrace,
The one without a name or face.
Maybe you were hope all along,
Teaching me where I belong.
---
[Pre-Chorus]
The sky still changes,
Night to day.
But now I know
Both can stay.
---
[Chorus]
I'm half awake,
Half dreaming still.
Learning every broken heart
Can learn to heal.
I don't have to run
From yesterday.
Every dream became
The strength I carry today.
I'm half awake...
And unafraid.
---
[Bridge]
If I never see
That perfect place again...
I'll build it here,
With these two hands.
If I never hear
Your voice at night...
I'll become
The words you left behind.
You were never gone.
You were growing...
Inside me.
---
[Final Chorus]
I'm fully breathing,
Though I'm half awake.
Every scar has turned
Into the path I take.
The dream lives on,
Not above the sky—
But in every choice,
Every hope,
Every time I try.
I'm half awake...
But my heart
Has finally opened its eyes.
---
[Outro]
(Choir softly joins. Piano and strings fade in.)
The night taught me how to dream.
The morning taught me how to live.
Now...
I carry both.
Into the sunrise.
