I Caught The Sunrise Lyrics


Phone call came, it was 3 a.m.
I was running from a ghost
In a dream I was in
Oh, a dream I was in

Might have been an omen
Or a tapping on my shoulder
Saying, “Brace yourself, boy
You’re about to get older”
Gotta care for your momma
And your little sister, too
‘Cause I won’t be there
To tell you what to do

The preacher spoke and friends all gathered
Never heard a single word that mattered at all
Nothing mattered at all

Then the world went dark
And the walls caved in and
I can’t tell you how long it’s been
Since I felt grace wash over me
Was blind but now I see
Today, I caught the sunrise

I felt a drumming deep in my heart
Splashed water on my face
I knew I had to start to
Find my way, my way back to my faith

So, I prayed to God
Then I prayed to Dad
I need help ’cause these days are bad
Oh, I need help
I need you
Never was a word spoken more true

Then the world went dark
And the walls caved in and
I can’t tell you how long it’s been
Since I felt grace wash over me
Was blind but now I see
My father’s eyes shine through mine
And today, I caught the sunrise

Then the world went dark
And the walls caved in and
I can’t tell you how long it’s been
Since I felt grace wash over me
Was blind but now I see
My father’s eyes shine through mine
And today, I caught the sunrise

And today, I caught the sunrise
My father’s eyes shine through mine
And the sunrise
