Lyrics
*(Verse 1)*
Before the world wakes, I slip through the door
Soft earth beneath me, I'm searching for more
Than coffee and headlines and digital light
I'm chasing the threshold of darkness and bright
The sky's holding secrets in lavender thread
While the city still dreams in its cluttered bed
I follow a path only silence can show
Where the wild things are stirring and nobody knows
*(Chorus)*
Gökotta, gökotta
The hour when stillness breaks
When the first birds are calling
And the sleeping world shakes
Gökotta, gökotta
I'm learning how to see
That the quiet holds an answer
The noise will never bring to me
*(Verse 2)*
There's a robin rehearsing her opening line
A symphony building in four-four time
The wind's turning pages through aspen and pine
And I'm part of the story, no longer confined
I'm barefoot in dew on the edge of the day
Where worries dissolve and the clutter falls away
Just breathing and being, no filter, no frame
The dawn doesn't ask me to prove or explain
*(Chorus)*
Gökotta, gökotta
The hour when stillness breaks
When the first birds are calling
And the sleeping world shakes
Gökotta, gökotta
I'm learning how to see
That the quiet holds an answer
The noise will never bring to me
*(Bridge)*
We're always so hungry for what comes next
Refreshing and scrolling, perpetually vexed
But here in the half-light, I'm finally fed
By nothing but birdsong and sky overhead
*(Final Chorus)*
Gökotta, gökotta
Before the rush, before the race
There's a sliver of morning
That belongs to this place
Gökotta, gökotta
I'm learning how to be
In the space between the nighttime
And who I'm supposed to be
*(Outro)*
So I'll meet you at sunrise
When the cuckoo takes flight
In the pocket of stillness
Between the dark and the light
