[Verse 1] Ash on the windowsill, breth in the chill Sun peekin’ over rooftops, time standin’ still City still sleepin’, but I’m wide awake Feelin’ all the cracks from the nights I break Still here though — no medals, no praise Just a half-lit joint and a world in haze But the light hit soft through the blinds today And I think I might just be okay No calls yet, no noise in the air Just a moment where the weight ain’t there Coffee cold, thoughts warm Feelin’ like life finally shifted form [Hook] This is that first light, new breath, calm mind That slow step after the long climb A little peace, a little space Just me and the smoke and the sun on my face Not everything’s fixed, but I ain’t broke Just movin’ with the rhythm of a softer hope In the stillness, I find grace This is that first light in a heavy place [Verse 2] I been runnin’ from myself in loops Now I’m just walkin’, losin’ the need to prove Let the past do what it do I can’t change it, but I see it through Guilt in the rearview, pain on mute Truth don’t sting when you stand in truth Used to wake up feelin’ lost and stuck Now I wake slow, just lightin’ up Ain’t no epiphany, just breathin’ deep Tryna love this world while it’s still half asleep I don’t got plans, just a path and a pen And a promise to myself to try again [Hook – Repeat] This is that first light, new breath, calm mind That slow step after the long climb A little peace, a little space Just me and the smoke and the sun on my face Not everything’s fixed, but I ain’t broke Just movin’ with the rhythm of a softer hope In the stillness, I find grace This is that first light in a heavy place [Outro] Some days don’t start with noise. They start with light. And if you catch it right… you carry it with you.
