[Intro — soft skank, sunrise pads, close vocal]
I woke up
To a new day open
Light came in
And my heart started hoping
[Verse 1 — warm reggae groove enters]
Morning hit like a brand-new song
Same old room but the fear was gone
Sky turned gold through the window frame
Something in me didn’t feel the same
I put yesterday down by the door
I don’t need that weight no more
Road outside got a shine so bright
Like it waited for me all night
[Pre-Chorus — claps rise, harmony lift]
One breath
One step
One spark in my chest
One chance
One life
I’m not done yet
[Chorus — huge radio singalong]
I woke up to new possibilities
Open road, open sky, open heart in front of me
I can rise, I can ride, I can be who I came to be
I woke up to new possibilities
Oh, I’m wide awake
Oh, I’m on my way
Oh, let the light come through
New world, new me, new view
[Verse 2 — brighter bounce, Mountain Rider feel]
From the shoreline to the mountain line
Every turn got a brand-new sign
High tide talking to the pine trees
Saying, “Move now, let your soul breathe”
Dust on my shoes, sun on my face
Dreams need room, so I make space
No more waiting on perfect time
I got the whole blue sky on my side
[Pre-Chorus — bigger harmonies]
One breath
One step
One spark in my chest
One chance
One life
I’m not done yet
[Chorus — full groove, bright hook]
I woke up to new possibilities
Open road, open sky, open heart in front of me
I can rise, I can ride, I can be who I came to be
I woke up to new possibilities
Oh, I’m wide awake
Oh, I’m on my way
Oh, let the light come through
New world, new me, new view
[Bridge — half-time dub lift, spiritual turn]
Water taught me how to move
Fire gave me back my truth
Mountain told me, “Stand and see”
Wind said, “Brother, you are free”
No more sleeping through the sign
No more hiding from my shine
Map to mind and heart to road
I let go and I unfold
[Final Chorus — hands-up festival finish]
I woke up to new possibilities
Open road, open sky, open heart in front of me
I can rise, I can ride, I can be who I came to be
I woke up to new possibilities
Oh, I’m wide awake
Oh, I’m on my way
Oh, let the light come through
New world, new me, new view
[Outro — crowd chant, dub delay fade]
New day open
New road calling
New light rising
No more falling
New day open
Heart set free
Whole wide world
In front of me
