Lyrics
I came into the light with empty hands,
A little heart, a world I didn’t understand.
Days kept moving, pulling me along,
I learned the noise before I learned my song.
I chased the shining things I thought were true,
Built my dreams from what I was told to do.
But deep inside, beneath the open sky,
There was a quiet question asking why.
And every road I took
Was leading somewhere new,
Not just to who I’d be —
But to what I’m meant to do.
Two days change a life forever,
The day you breathe, the day you know.
One gives you a beating heart,
One gives you a place to go.
I was born into the morning,
But I found my fire later on.
The day I understood my why —
That’s the day my life began.
I wore a smile when I was feeling lost,
Paid for silence with a hidden cost.
I kept on waiting for a perfect sign,
While all the missing pieces lived inside.
Then something opened like a window wide,
A sudden truth I couldn’t push aside.
Not fame, not fear, not what the world could see —
Just one clear spark waking up in me.
All the years before
Were not a waste of time,
They were the steps that brought
My soul into the light.
Two days change a life forever,
The day you breathe, the day you know.
One gives you a beating heart,
One gives you a place to go.
I was born into the morning,
But I found my fire later on.
The day I understood my why —
That’s the day my life began.
Now I don’t need all the answers,
I just need a reason true.
And if my heart keeps moving toward it,
I know what I was born to do.
I know what I was born to do.
Two days change a life forever,
The day you breathe, the day you know.
One gives you a beating heart,
One gives you a place to go.
I was born into the morning,
But I found my fire later on.
The day I understood my why —
That’s the day my life began.
