Song Description
"Chasing the Dawn", an acoustic folk-rock-alternative song by Tethered Souls, delves into themes of self-discovery, resilience, and hope. Through vivid imagery of wandering city streets at night and climbing mountains in the rain, the lyrics portray a personal journey of overcoming inner demons and fears. The recurring motif of the "morning sun breaking the dawn" symbolizes new beginnings and the belief that, despite the long and winding path, one will find their way. The bridge amplifies this message by emphasizing collective identity and remembrance under endless skies. With its introspective lyrics and soothing melodies, the song offers an inspiring narrative about finding strength and light after darkness.

Performed by: Tethered Souls
[Verse 1]
Underneath the city lights so bright,
Wandering through the maze of streets alone,
Chasing demons in the dead of night,
Searching for a place to call my own.
[Chorus]
But the morning sun will break the dawn,
Painting skies with hues of gold,
Though the journey seems so long,
I believe I'll find my road.
[Verse 2]
Climbing mountains in the pouring rain,
Footprints washed away by shifting sands,
Every step I take relieves the pain,
Leaving all my fears in distant lands.
[Chorus]
And the morning sun will break the dawn,
Chasing demons from my sight,
Though the path is winding on,
I believe I'll be alright.
[Bridge]
Valleys ring with hopeful cries,
Winds will carry them afar,
Underneath the endless skies,
We remember who we are.
[Chorus]
The morning sun will break the dawn,
Lighting up the world I once knew,
Though the night was dark and long,
I believe we will, make it through.
I believe we will, make it through.
