Morning
Karen Matheson Lyrics

Last night I dreamed my head was in fever
I had a dream where my thoughts were racing and my mind was restless.

Last night I dreamed it never was so far
My dream made things feel closer and more achievable than they really are.

To reach the shore of safety and redemption
I longed for a place of security and a chance to find peace.

And a gaze upon the bright morning star
I looked for hope and guidance in the light of the dawn.

I dreamed I was by friends all put abandoned
In my dream, I felt alone and deserted by those I thought were close to me.

I dreamed I was alone but for my scars
I was left to face my inner pain and emotional wounds by myself.

And blinded by the tears that fell like water
The overwhelming grief and sorrow made it hard for me to see clearly.

No more to see the bright morning star
I lost hope and the possibility of a brighter future.

The streets of dreams never looked this lonely
Even the aspirations and hopes that once comforted me felt bleak and desolate.

The streets of dreams never felt this hard
My dreams and goals felt out of reach and unreachable.

And I heard my voice barely of a whisper
My confidence and self-assurance diminished to a barely perceptible level.

As the clouds denied the bright morning star
The circumstances of my life and the obstacles in my way kept me from finding hope and clarity.

Sometimes this life is no more than a moment
Life can feel short and fleeting, and opportunities can be fleeting.

And sometimes this light is lost unto the dark
Occasionally, hope and positivity can be overshadowed by the negativity of the world.

But courage hears the sound of dawn approaching
With bravery, we can sense the arrival of new opportunities and brighter days on the horizon.

And each our own, bright morning star
We are all capable of finding hope and light within ourselves.

I woke to find every window open
I realized that the world was full of possibility and that opportunities were available to me.

I woke to find the heavy door jar
Even when it seems like the odds are against us, we can find a way forward.

And I walked outside and stood upon the hilltop
I stepped out of my comfort zone and embraced the unknown in search of something better.

And gazed one small bright morning star
I found a glimmer of hope and positivity to guide me towards a better future.

I walked outside and every bird was singing
As I ventured out into the world, I found that there was still beauty and joy to be found.

As I found again my bright morning star
I rediscovered my hope and inspiration to move forward towards a brighter future.
