Fresh off my three week excursion to The Netherlands (where I recorded a full-length and brand new album!), I'm going back to work in the other of two places I call home — Texas.
I've been streaming a lot of movies and series programs on flights and late at night to "wind down" after recording for 8 hours a day. Many of these shows have a theme - "we made it." Or at least, "we're going to make it." This is my gamble at writing something purely for the fun of trying to write a topic I have never tackled before in a song.
It's a very common theme, and a gazillion songs have been written about this (similarly, anyways). This is my take. I hope you enjoy it.
IF YOU LIVE IN TEXAS (or anywhere else for that matter) — please take advantage of my patreon follower extra:
if you are at the $5 or above level here, you can get preferred seating at shows whenever possible
if you are at the $25 or above level here, I am more than happy to comp you a ticket or two whenever possible.
So check out my schedule! I love seeing a group of patreon followers at a big table in the middle of a show getting to know each other. Please take advantage of this perk :) :) :)
INTO THE DAWN
verse1
THE DARKEST HOUR BOWS TO MORNING LIGHT
AND ONCE AGAIN YOU’VE MADE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT
WHAT’S LEFT TO FACE
WILL IT LEAD TO GRACE
OUT OF THE DARK, INTO THE DAWN
verse 2
A QUIET VOICE PROCLAIMS, THE TIME IS NOW
YET YOU ROSE AGAIN WITH FURROWED BROW
THOUGH THE WINDS MAY BLOW
THROUGH HILLS SO HIGH AND VALLEYS LOW
OUT OF THE DARK, INTO THE DAWN
OUT OF THE DARK, INTO THE DAWN
bridge
STORMS AHEAD THEN LIGHTNING TEARS THE SKY
BUT SUNS WILL ALWAYS RISE
TO CLEAR THE CLOUDS FROM YOUR EYES
verse 3
THE PAST IS CARVED IN LINES UPON YOUR FACE
THEY GUIDE YOU WITH STRENGTH YOU NOW EMBRACE
SO YOU MAKE YOUR MOVE
WITH NOTHING LEFT TO PROVE
OUT OF THE DARK, INTO THE DAWN
OUT OF THE DARK, INTO THE DAWN
