[Intro]
[(acoustic guitar)]
Morning light through the cabin door…
Didn’t think I’d see this day before.
[Verse 1]
Used to wake with the weight of the night,
Shadows hanging heavy in the light.
Every road felt like a dead end turn,
Every lesson something left to learn.
But the sun came creeping through the pines,
Golden streaks through the crooked lines.
Funny how the quiet morning air
Feels like hope was always there.
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe the storm had to pass me by
Just to show me a clearer sky.
[Chorus]
Paint the morning in a softer shade,
Let the past just slowly fade.
Every scar a line I drew…
Leading me back to you.
Life don’t follow perfect lines,
Sometimes beauty hides between the signs.
All the mess I stumbled through…
Painted something new.
[Electric guitar solo]
[Verse 2]
People change like the turning leaves,
Some will stay and some will leave.
But the ones who walk beside your flame
Know the fire and love the same.
Now the road feels open wide,
No more need to run or hide.
Standing here where the smoke once rose…
Watching something grow.
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe the fire had to burn it down
Just to build it stronger on this ground.
[Chorus]
Paint the morning in a softer shade,
Let the past just slowly fade.
Every scar a line I drew…
Leading me back to you.
Life don’t follow perfect lines,
Sometimes beauty hides between the signs.
All the mess I stumbled through…
Painted something new.
[orchestral string solo]
[Bridge]
[(piano + soft harmonies)]
All the broken pieces on the floor
Turned into the life I’m living for.
Funny how the wrong turns in the end
Lead you home again.
[Final Chorus]
Paint the morning bright and clear,
All the things I used to fear
Now just echoes in the blue…
Of something new.
Life don’t follow perfect lines,
But the beauty’s in the time.
Every season I walked through…
Painted something true.
