[Verse 1] The rain left marks on the stone But the cold could not stay You and I stood still As the dark gave way A crack in the clouds A line of gold Like the world remembered Something brave to hold [Pre-Chorus] And I felt it Deep in my chest A small spark rising Out of the wreck You looked at me Like you knew it too That the sky was breaking Just for us to move [Chorus] Brighter than dawn Brighter than dawn We rise, we rise Brighter than dawn Hold on, my brother Hold on, my friend This moment of hope Will not end Brighter than dawn Brighter than dawn We rise, we rise Brighter than dawn [Verse 2] The road was long And the nights were lean Still your voice kept time With the distant green Now the first warm light Touched the edge of the land And the fear in my hands Turned into sand [Pre-Chorus] And I felt it Deep in my chest A small spark rising Out of the wreck You looked at me Like you knew it too That the sky was breaking Just for us to move [Chorus] Brighter than dawn Brighter than dawn We rise, we rise Brighter than dawn Hold on, my brother Hold on, my friend This moment of hope Will not end Brighter than dawn Brighter than dawn We rise, we rise Brighter than dawn [Bridge] If the night comes back We’ve got this flame Two voices carrying The same sweet name And when the world Feels heavy again We’ll remember this And start again [Final Chorus] Brighter than dawn Brighter than dawn We rise, we rise Brighter than dawn Hold on, my brother Hold on, my friend This moment of hope Will not end Brighter than dawn Brighter than dawn We rise, we rise Brighter than dawn
