When dawn breaks anew

I've lived a life of turmoil
Fear, homelessness and much worse
Hope carried me through the night
Happy when dawn breaks

I've lived a life of ill repute
Surviving on how much my body would take
Happy when dawn breaks anew

I've lived a life of addictions
Chasing the dragon in many ways
Rehab equalled withdrawal on my own
Happy when dawn breaks anew

I've lived a life of running hard
Moving far too many times
Losing touch with myself
Happy when dawn breaks anew

I've lived a life of denial
Always affected by the gory details
Starting to reflect with strength and vision
Happy when dawn breaks anew
