When the Day Breaks

Silent streets, a summer sky
Children laughing, days go by
No one hears the warning signs
No one sees the fire in the night

Morning light on quiet towns
Dreams and hopes all around
No one thinks the end is near
No one sees the silent fear

Whispers in the static
Storms we can’t contain
The world is holding its breath
Before the rain

When the day breaks
And the sky falls down
Will we remember
The love we found?

Sirens wailing, shadows rise
Ashes falling from the skies
Every promise turns to dust
Every prayer is lost in rust

Whispers in the static
Storms we can’t contain
The world is holding its breath
Before the rain

When the day breaks
And the sky turns red
All the dreams we held
Are scattered with the dead

Hold me close, don’t let me go
Through the silence, through the glow
If tomorrow never comes
Sing my name beneath the sun

When the day breaks
We rise from the pain
Through the ashes
We’ll love again

Silent streets, a broken dawn
But the world keeps turning on
