You wanna sound off but you can't find the words to
Nothin' makes sense in the way that it used to
Can't find the plus in the positive thinking
The well's run dry and you're not done drinking
Clouds start comin' and the sky will fall
Clock stares back from the bedroom wall
Now you're breathin' just to make it through the night
All you need is a sunrise
Just a moment of dawn
If you're lost in the twilight
Close your eyes and move on
When you're tired in the waiting
Even though it's gonna take you
A little more time
Just a little more time the sun's gonna find you
Holding your days like a stack of paper
Then you're chasing the wind as the pages scatter
You can save a few but you can't get 'em all back
So get out fast with your heart in tact
Find yourself on the very edge
Lying awake in an empty bed
Now you're breathin' just to make it thru the night
Chorus

Chorus
Brandon Heath, Dan Muckala, Nate Campany
Behind the Song:
"Do you ever have those nights when you can't sleep because of the things on your mind? All the stress that comes with making decisions or from just being alone can sometimes keep your head spinning all through the night. "Sunrise," co-written with Nate Campany and my producer, Dan Muckala, is about longing for a little resolution. The darkness and the unknown can kind of overwhelm me sometimes. I wanted to capture a moment of desperation but also of hope -a sense of being on the brink of recovery. Sonically, it was inspired by a lot of the Western movies that I had been watching over the Fall of '07." - Brandon Heath
