Lyrics
[Intro – gentle acoustic guitar strums, soft piano arpeggios]
(Instrumental Solo)
[Verse 1 – soft girl vocals, light shaker rhythm]
The rain keeps tapping on my window pane
I’m counting cracks in the ceiling again
Every breath feels like a heavy weight
Wondering if the dark will ever fade
[Verse 2 – warm boy vocals, layered acoustic guitar]
I’ve been staring at a broken map
Trying to find where the good paths wrap
My shoes are worn from walking wrong
Holding on to a song I barely know
[Pre-Chorus – harmonized vocals, building piano]
We’ve both got scars we don’t talk about
Bruises from the fights we couldn’t shout out
But somewhere in the quiet we can hear
A tiny voice that’s drawing near
[Chorus – full harmonies, driving acoustic rhythm, subtle strings]
First light’s gonna break through the night
We’ll find our way out of the fight
No more hiding, no more fear
We’ll stand together when the sky clears
First light’s gonna paint the sky gold
We’ll hold on till the cold is gone
Every tear will turn to dew
We’re gonna make it me and you
[Verse 3 – alternating girl and boy vocals, light tambourine]
I found your note tucked under my door
Said “I’m here, don’t walk alone anymore”
I traced the words till my fingers ached
Finally felt the weight start to break
[Pre-Chorus 2 – richer harmonies, swelling strings]
We’ve both got dreams we locked away
Afraid to let the light find their way
But now we’re reaching for the same star
No matter how far, no matter how hard
[Chorus 2 – amplified harmonies, fuller band sound]
First light’s gonna break through the night
We’ll find our way out of the fight
No more hiding, no more fear
We’ll stand together when the sky clears
First light’s gonna paint the sky gold
We’ll hold on till the cold is gone
Every tear will turn to dew
We’re gonna make it me and you
[Solo – soaring electric guitar, warm reverb, building intensity]
(Instrumental Solo)
[Bridge – soft, intimate harmonies, stripped-back acoustic guitar]
We stumbled through the darkest hour
Lost our way but found each other’s power
Every fall was just a chance to rise
With your hand in mine, I’ll never hide
[Chorus 3 – full band, maximum intensity, layered harmonies]
First light’s gonna break through the night
We’ll find our way out of the fight
No more hiding, no more fear
We’ll stand together when the sky clears
First light’s gonna paint the sky gold
We’ll hold on till the cold is gone
Every tear will turn to dew
We’re gonna make it me and you
[Outro – fading acoustic guitar, soft harmonized vocals]
First light’s here, we made it through
Hand in hand, me and you
