Sunrise of Hope

[Intro]
Sundown whispers, shadows creep in tight
Searching for a spark in the fading light

[Verse 1]
From sun up to sun down, I battle the ache
Walking through days that feel like a fake
Longing for the days when I was free and light
Now every moment's a fight, a silent fight

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I remember who I used to be
A mirror of strength, a spirit wild and free
But now I wear these tired eyes like a crown
Waiting for a dawn to turn my life around

[Chorus]
Pain finds its way, it makes my heart sway
Wishing for better, for a brighter day
Hold my head high, keep the hope alive
Trying to survive, trying to thrive

[Verse 2]
The days grow tougher, yeah, they wear me thin
Body feels older than the years I've been in
Yet inside there's a fire, a yearning to feel anew
To be that person I once knew

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I remember who I used to be
A mirror of strength, a spirit wild and free
But now I wear these tired eyes like a crown
Waiting for a dawn to turn my life around

[Chorus]
Pain finds its way, it makes my heart sway
Wishing for better, for a brighter day
Hold my head high, keep the hope alive
Trying to survive, trying to thrive

[Bridge]
Every step, every breath, takes me closer still
To the better days I've yet to fulfill
Though the night feels long and cold
My story's yet to be told

[Outro]
Sunrise will come, I’ll rise again
Though battered and worn, I’ll defend
My hope, my dream, my endless fight
For a dawn that turns the dark to light
