Chasing Sunrises

Morning opens like a prayer

We are here, and it is rare

Life is a match in the rain

Bright for a moment,

then gone

So take my hand through the day

Let every heartbeat belong

We spend our years counting gold

While the sky

gives it free

I want the dawn on my face

And the ones I love next to me

Why run so hard for empty rooms

When sunlight waits outside?

The richest thing we ever hold

Is this little piece of time

Don't waste a second,

the river is moving

Hold every sunrise close to your chest

Love what is living,

not what you're proving We only get one life,

so make it blessed (ooh)

I have seen people trade peace

For a name on a wall

But no shining prize can replace The sound of a loved one

who calls So leave the race for a while

Let the world turn slow

There is treasure in a smile

And in flowers by the road

If tomorrow finds us empty-handed

Let our hearts be full tonight

We can dance in the kitchen laughing Under ordinary light (ahhhh)

Don't waste a second,

the river is moving

Hold every sunrise close to your chest Love what is living,

not what you're proving

We only get one life,

so make it blessed

Don't chase the money

till your days are gone Come back to love,

come back to now (ooh)

Morning opens like a prayer Spend your seconds being there (ooh)
