What the Morning Knows

Kou Hoa & Renten

[Verse 1]

I have walked through rooms of silence

Kept the lamps on through the night

Held the pieces close together

When there wasn't any light

I learned how to keep on going

How to carry, how to stay

But the hands that held the whole world

Can be empty for a day

[Pre-Chorus]

Maybe I don't need to know

Where every winding road will go

Maybe all I need is time

To hear this heart of mine

[Chorus]

What the morning knows

The night can't always say

There are roads that wait in silence

There is light beyond today

I can carry what I loved

Without carrying all the weight

Maybe I don't need the answers

To keep walking toward the day

[Verse 2]

There are things I haven't chosen

There are dreams I haven't named

There are pieces of the woman

Who was always there unchanged

I don't have to hurry toward them

I don't have to start anew

I can take the days as they come

And discover what is true

[Pre-Chorus]

There is room for something more

Beyond the life I knew before

Not to leave the past behind

But to make some room for mine

[Chorus]

What the morning knows

The night can't always say

There are roads that wait in silence

There is light beyond today

I can carry what I loved

Without carrying all the weight

Maybe I don't need the answers

To keep walking toward the day

[Bridge]

I can love and still be myself

I can stay and still be free

I can let another walk beside me

I don't have to carry everything

And joy doesn't ask permission

It can find me where I am

In a song, a road, a window

In the touch of someone's hand

[Final Chorus]

What the morning knows

Is slowly coming clear

There is life beyond the questions

There is love beyond the fear

I will carry what I cherish

Let the rest fall where it may

I don't need to know the ending

To keep walking toward the day

What the morning knows

I am learning as I go

There are still some roads before me

There are still some seeds to sow

And whatever waits beyond me

I don't have to know just yet

I can meet it when it finds me

With the life that's in me yet

[Outro]

The sky is turning slowly

There is light along the road

I don't have to know tomorrow

I'll learn what the morning knows.
