Counting Sunrises Instead of Scars

I used to mark the nights by the wounds I wore, Every mile was just another war. But one pale dawn broke through my chest, Showed me scars don’t own what’s left.

Now I’m counting sunrises instead of scars, Trading heavy nights for a softer start. The road still cuts, but the light heals fast, And I’m stronger for the pain that’s passed.

I used to drink my grief till the bottle bled, Every shadow whispered what I should’ve said. But the morning comes, it don’t ask why, It just paints the truth across the sky.

Now I’m counting sunrises instead of scars, Learning mercy where the old wounds are. The night still lingers, but it don’t last, And I’m lighter for the weight I cast.

The scars remind me I’m still alive, But the sunrise tells me I’ve survived. If tomorrow fades, I’ll still believe, That light was always chasing me.

Now I’m counting sunrises instead of scars, Living softer, holding love in my arms. The road still bends, but I’ll ride it fast, ‘Cause I’m brighter for the dark that’s passed.
