Liner Notes
Awake in the Dark is a quiet reckoning with ambition and time. It reflects on a life spent chasing horizons and discovering—sometimes too late—that meaning doesn’t live in arrival. The song invites a gentler accounting: to notice the day you’re on, the people beside you, and the marks left not by distance traveled, but by care given.
Lyrics
Verse 1
I climbed every mountain the map laid down,
Chased every whisper to another town.
I filled up my pockets with hours gone,
But I never once stopped to sing along.
Verse 2
The road stretched longer with every win,
The next horizon pulled me in.
I turned to look but found no trace,
Just fading miles I can’t replace.
Chorus
So raise your hands to the morning sun,
Dance in the light of the day you’re on.
Life isn’t some kind of game you win,
It’s the hearts that you’ve touched in the places you’ve been.
Verse 3
You can’t hold forever, you can’t chase the past,
The hourglass spills, and the sand runs fast.
And when the final grain of sand falls through,
Will you have known the one and only truth that is true?
Final Chorus / Outro
So raise your hands to the morning sun,
Sing to the light of the day you’re on.
Life’s not a game that you fight to win,
It’s the hearts you touch in the places you’ve been.
