**Title:** *Before the Dawn*

**[Verse 1]**  

Silence, in the dark I lie,  

Lost between shadows and the endless sky.  

Questions, they echo deep within,  

I search for truth but where do I begin?

**[Pre-Chorus]**  

Every scar’s a story, every tear’s a burn,  

As I walk through fire, the pages turn.

**[Chorus]**  

Before the dawn, I’m on my knees,  

Caught between faith and broken dreams.  

I scream to the stars, I call your name,  

But in this void, it feels the same.  

Before the dawn, I face the pain,  

Waiting for light to rise again.

**[Verse 2]**  

Shadows creep, they close me in,  

The walls around—they’re paper-thin.  

I feel the weight, the fight inside,  

In silence, I’m chained but won’t hide.

**[Bridge]**  

Nowhere to run, nowhere to flee,  

A thousand fears come crashing over me.  

But I’ll stand tall, defy this cage,  

Fueling my heart with fire and rage.

**[Chorus]**  

Before the dawn, I’m on my knees,  

Caught between faith and broken dreams.  

I scream to the stars, I call your name,  

But in this void, it feels the same.  

Before the dawn, I face the pain,  

Waiting for light to rise again.

**[Outro]**  

So here I am, with arms stretched wide,  

Fighting the night that’s trapped inside.  

When morning breaks and shadows die,  

I’ll rise once more, with open eyes.
