First Light

I watched the clouds turn heavy and blue. Stayed up late just to see it through. The air is different on the edge of the Hill. The world is waking under the covers. I'm done waiting for the sky to recover. Can you feel the winds start to shift? Everything's about to lift. The pressure is dropping in my chest. I'm finally putting the ghost to rest. Hang in there, Emma, it's almost here. The morning is coming to make it clear. My time is rising like the summer heat. I'm finding the rhythm, I'm finding the beat. The beat. I'm finding the beat. I'm finding the beat. I'm finding the... Still standing. Yeah, I'm still standing on my own two feet. I used to think the dark was a wall. Now I know it was nothing at all. Just a season that had to pass by. Like a storm moving through the July sky. I washed the dust off my favorite boots. I'm digging deep and I'm planting the roots. Everything's about to lift. The pressure is dropping in my chest. I'm finally putting the ghost to rest. Hang in there, Emma, it's almost here. The morning is coming to make it clear. My time is rising like the summer heat. I'm finding the rhythm, I'm finding the beat. The beat. I'm finding the beat. I'm finding the beat. I'm finding the... Still standing. Yeah, I'm still standing on my own two feet. It's a long way up, but the view is Sharp. I'm tuning the strings of a heavy heart. One more breath and I'll touch the sun. The waiting is over, the work is done. Your time will come. Yeah, I'm awake now. The morning is mine. It's finally time.
