Edward Holmes - 366 Sunrises Lyrics

A new year is coming
And you must continue
You will meet those you'll grow to dearly love
And lose them
Meet souls meant for a season
And watch the autumn winds descend
To reclaim them again

You will feel the ache of yearning
Sometimes without knowing exactly what for
For love
For freedom
For rest

You will feel 365 new sunrises
Sometimes 66
Sail across your sleepless window sill
And remind you to be still for a new day dawns

You will feel faith come alive in the most unexpected places
Find traces of hope in kind hearts and embraces
You will learn to live again and continue beyond what they said about you
For they didn't know your whole story
And they won't

Life will challenge you and you will learn to stare back into its daunting gaze
With last year's newfound resilience until it backs down
You will learn the power of the word "no"
You will learn there will be a time to remove boundaries
And to set them up

You will learn that you were never broken or inadequate.
You will see that your dreams weren't meant to be understood
But simply heard
So speak
And speak
And speak
Until your voice is magnified

You will learn that you are strong
And capable
And inevitably you will find your way back home
Once again, you weren't lost, you were never lost
Come back home this year
Come home
And live
