Brighter Days Ahead

Late night lights, the world's asleep but I stay awake

Dreams lingering, for a better dawn I chase

Fourteen years under fluorescent glare

Counting shelves, but I feel the wear

Family’s face, in every tired glance

Holding on through circumstance

But tonight, I see a brighter way

A new dawn waits, beyond the day

Hope’s whisper, calling my name

Ready to break this chain

Running towards a brand new start

Leaving behind a weary heart

For a future where I can breathe

A better life, I will achieve

Oh, I’ve been worn but I’m not done

Morning’s promise has just begun

Searching for a better way

To see a brighter day

Shadows fade as dreams ignite

Step by step, into the light

No more shadows of the past

This is the moment to surpass

Hold on tight, the dawn is near

A new chapter is appearing here

For my family, for my peace

A life of worth, a sweet release
