a song about recovery with the theme of day by day

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I woke up with the weight still on my chest
Shadows whispering I'm not my best
But there's a crack of light beneath the door
I've seen that silver lining before
Every tear has taught my eyes to see
The strength that's growing inside of me

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't have to run, I don't have to hide
Healing happens one step at a time

[Chorus]
Day by day I'm finding my way
Today I am choosing to be ok
I'm living moment by moment
With hope in every heartbeat
Dawn after dawn, I'm moving on

[Verse 2]
Some days the mirror feels unkind
Old regrets replay in my mind
But I forgive the one I was
For doing the best she could because
Survival sometimes looks like scars
But broken pieces make brave hearts

[Pre-Chorus]
I breathe in deep, let the past release
Every exhale brings me peace

[Chorus]
Day by day I'm finding my way
Today I am choosing to be ok
I'm living moment by moment
With hope in every heartbeat
Dawn after dawn, I'm moving on

[Bridge]
If the night comes back around
And doubt is screaming loud
I'll remember how far I've come
And whisper, "This is not the end."
The sun will rise, it always does
And so will I -- because
Dawn after dawn, I'm moving on

[Chorus]
Day by day I'm finding my way
Today I am choosing to be ok
I'm living moment by moment
With hope in every heartbeat
Dawn after dawn, I'm moving on

[Outro]
Light through the cracks, steady and strong
Right where I am is where I belong
No matter how long the dark has drawn--
There's always a dawn...
After dawn.
