Gold in Quiet Dawn

Lyrics

Verse 1 She wakes up before the sunrise, Coffee warm, but her heart’s still tired Another day, another hill to climb But she shows up every single time Bleachers, gym lights, summer fields, Cheering loud like the world stands still Ellie with that fearless grit — She gives her all in every game Samaira’s got a heart and soul That loves big and never fades And little Athaiah’s spunk and laugh Bring sunshine to the darkest days Pre-Chorus There were storms she didn’t ask for, Nights she cried alone But every crack that tried to break her Only let more light be shown Chorus Anyone can find the dirt in someone — But she always finds the gold Sees the hope inside the hurting, Turns the broken into whole She’s fire and she’s gentle, She’s fearless and she’s kind And when the world gets heavy, She still shows up every time Yeah, tough roads tried to shake her, But they never took her soul ’Cause where others see the ashes — She’s the one who finds the gold Verse 2 And every time I do her hair, We talk about life face-to-face We laugh through all the chaos, Somehow turn it into grace The kind of talks that heal the soul, Laughing, crying — letting go Feels like we could change the world One conversation at a time She listens like it matters — ’Cause to her, it always does Compassion in the way she moves, Grace woven through her love She’s the steady friend you want there by your side. Pre-Chorus She’s learned that life can bend you, But it doesn’t mean you break And healing isn’t weakness — It’s the bravest step you take Chorus Anyone can find the dirt in someone — But she always finds the gold Sees the hope inside the hurting, Turns the broken into whole She’s bright and she’s humble, Stronger than she knows And when the dark starts whispering, Her light still overflows Yeah, tough roads tried to shake her, But they never took her soul ’Cause where others see the ashes — She’s the one who finds the gold Bridge Some days it’s just a chair, Scissors, coffee, and a song But somehow in those little moments We remember we are strong We laugh through all the chaos, Somehow turn it into grace She learned what love looks like From steady hearts that never hide John and Judy — faithful hands, Always right there by her side. And even in the hardest storms Love still finds its place Final Chorus Anyone can find the dirt in someone — But she was born to find the gold The kind of rare and steady heart That keeps the world from growing cold She’s courage, she’s a warrior, She’s a story still untold And the tough moments won’t fail her — ’Cause she’s carried, she’s beloved, she’s whole Yeah, when life turns into ashes… She’s still the one who finds the gold.
