Lyrics
Verse
Every step you rise like an escalator
Go up and down like an elevator
Been extra patient for the sun to raise it
Quiet conversations long contemplating
Like you don't know me I don't know you
All we have is the trust
We against the world til we bust
It's the universe vs us
We can shine bright like a comet
We can crash and burn from the plummet
Trying to show how bad Ireally want it
So I will not abandon my hand is on you just knowing in right where you standing
preparing for landing
I know that the pressure can be very demanding
But light will always be seen in the dark
I'll move heaven and earth to reach you wherever you are
Hook (2x)
Sometimes we crash and burn
Sometimes tables get turned
We all live and we learn
It’s darkest before the dawn
When they’re cold as a stone
When you feel all alone
Know you’re not on your own
It’s darkest before the dawn
Verse
There's a warm coat when you're freezing
There's a bless you when you sneezing
A light’s at the end of the tunnel
It just needs you to believe it
Know you don't see it but it always has a calming effect
Wait for a sec don't try to eject
I'll be your shield prepared to protect guarding your steps cause
It's all timing
Even a falling star is still shining
Keep trying
There's always a lesson to learn
There's always a table to turn not knowing can make you concerned
Just pick up the phone it doesn't matter how you call or see ‘em
You're a warrior this your colosseum
Hook (2x)
Sometimes we crash and burn
Sometimes tables get turned
We all live and we learn
It’s darkest before the dawn
When they’re cold as a stone
When you feel all alone
Know you’re not on your own
It’s darkest before the dawn
Verse
The pain is temp but the faith’s forever
An eternal level to know you're better
Will never settle for less than happy
Write it out it's an open letter
For the world to read it when someone see it
It's a guideline for whoever needs it
Say it 5 times it’s best repeated like
Tomorrow is brighter than it's ever been
We all make mistakes
that knowledge is polish it’s making you great
I walked in those shoes so I can relate
Pick up the phone and I'm on the way
Thinking you'll break it’s making you strong
Don't let it turn you into stone
The road is rough the nights are long
It's darkest before the dawn
Hook (2x)
Sometimes we crash and burn
Sometimes tables get turned
We all live and we learn
It’s darkest before the dawn
When they’re cold as a stone
When you feel all alone
Know you’re not on your own
It’s darkest before the dawn
