Remember the Dawn

Sprinting to the finish Joyful smiles upon our faces Never really thinking why the race is run Remembering the moments When music played and people laughed Not reflecting on how they'll all be undone It's not the finish but the road along the way We should take notice how fast day transforms to night transforms to day Soaring through the heavens Feet and heads above the clouds Never thinking much about how hard we'll land Till we crash into the earth And rise again disoriented Wondering how much more of that we can stand They matter not, the violent storms upon our seas Rather, the connections that we make as we write histories Life gives, life takes Every day must and and night will always fall Our triumphs and mistakes In the end won't really matter much at all I try to praise this mutilated world Remembering days of bitter sunlight Like any man who's lost and lived Death has a plan but it hasn't worked out yet Life gives, life takes Every day must and and night will always fall Our triumphs and mistakes In the end won't really matter much at all Life takes, life gives Every night must stand and dawn will always come Rejoice and live And remembering it was slipped in we push on Remember when perspective we push on Dawn will come and end before too long And when we're basking in the brightest time Be mindful that another night will come Another night will come And then another dawn Another night will come And then another dawn And remember the dawn
