[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.
