Dawn of a new day on top of Roan Mountain.
I wake at dawn before the sun
and rise to top the peak.
The air is still, the clouds are high,
a new start is what I seek.
All the days before me stored,
past lives with wisdom gained.
Slate wiped clean I’m born anew
my heart is now unchained.
The sun begins to shine it’s
light and brighten up the sky.
I close my eyes to take a breath,
a moment to say goodbye.
And in that present moment there,
with the sun rise on this day.
I vow to raise my voice up loud,
to live life without dismay.
The clouds begin to glow red hot as the fire within me grows,
The warrior inside me takes his place
prepared for all life throws.
