Dawn Within Reach

Pieces of the morning in my hands

Light is finding every place I am

I was made of little shattered hours

Turning in the dark to find my name

Then the day came through the quiet window And it showed me

I was not the same

Every broken edge began to open

Every silence carried something true

Now I feel the sky beneath my breathing And the road

is wide enough to move I can feel it gathering

Gold across the air What was small is waking up

There is strength already there

Pieces of the morning,

pulling me to life Putting all my colors in the open sky

I am more than every night I walked through

I am rising, I am clear,

I am true Pieces of the morning,

shining in my chest Turning all the weight into a place to

rest With my heart wide open,

I can finally see All this light was always growing into me

Now the mirrors hold a kinder picture Not perfection,

just a steady flame I can carry all my former questions And

still walk forward without any shame There is wonder in the smallest

motion There is power in a patient start I am building from

a quiet center Morning making rivers through my heart Let it come

in waves of mercy Let it fill the hidden rooms

Every door inside me opening Every root beginning to bloom

Pieces of the morning,

pulling me to life Putting all my colors

in the open sky I am more than every night I walked

through

I am rising, I am clear,

I am true Pieces of the morning,

shining in my chest Turning all the weight into a place to

rest With my heart wide open,

I can finally

see All this light was always growing into me

Morning in pieces, whole in me

Morning in pieces, setting me free
