Verse 1

Some mornings I wake up heavy,
With dreams just out of reach.
I hold them close but quietly wonder
If they were meant for someone stronger than me.
I trace the outline of who I could be,
I want to believe there’s more in me—
That sunlight is trying to break free

Chorus

Hope is a decision — not a feeling you wait for,
It’s a spark you strike when the night feels cold.
Even when the ground feels unsure,
It’s trusting tomorrow is worth fighting for.
Hope is vision — looking with fresh eyes,
Believing the stars still shine beyond gray skies
You are braver than you know.
Hope is the sunrise in you.

Verse 2

So I change the way I talk to myself,
I let new thoughts take root.
I stop seeing walls as endings
And start seeing doors to push through.
The hard days don’t look so final,
They feel like lessons in disguise.
Every setback shapes my steps,
Every tear clears my eyes.

Chorus

Hope is a shift in perspective,
Turning trials into training ground.
Hope rewrites the story you tell —
From “I can’t” to “I will.”
Keep leaning forward, even afraid,
There’s strength in you still.
Hope is the sunrise in you.

Bridge

Now I wake up looking for light
Even in ordinary days.
Gratitude in small beginnings,
Faith in steady, quiet ways.
It’s not a leap — it’s daily steps.
It’s not perfection — it’s progress.
A hopeful heart, a forward move…
And fear begins to lose its hold.

Final Chorus

Hope is believing brighter days exist
While building something beautiful with this.
Hope is standing tall in the in-between,
Becoming more than you’ve ever been.
Hope is strength that multiplies
Every time you choose to try.
You are braver than you know.
Hope is the sunrise in you.

Outro

Because I chose to trust the dawn.
Now I can clearly see,
Hope is the sunrise in me.
